Pat;  The default DOMAIN is "ALL-LOCAL".  This is used by the ADSM
Scheduler when deciding what should be backed up.  ALL-LOCAL means all
local, unmountable, hard disk volumes.  I.e., not floppies, not CDROM, not
network volumes.  The DOMAIN does not prevent users from backing up
whatever they want to - manually.  But, it does help if you can train your
users to use the Scheduler to run their backups.
