I'm still digesting the new backup client, but here's my 2 cents.

I'd prefer the "Domain Incremental" option. I think it could be interesting
to include this feature right on the ADSM Hub Window.

Some more comments:

I was expecting to see more changes on the admin client. At least inclusion
library management, and replying to mount request

I fully agree with Jerry Lawson when he sais that it's *too* easy to backup
all files accesible by one client.

There are a few more things i'm checking on to see if i like it or not.
