Ken,
You are misunderstanding the intention of "incremental" backups.
You should think of "incremental" backups under TDP for Domino
similar to the ba client incremental. That is, it determines
which Domino databases (or templates) have changed, and it will
do a full backup on them.
Now, if you want to just back up the specific "changes" that
were made to the databases, you need to turn on archive logging
and archive the logs. The transaction logs contain the individual
changes to the databases.
Read the "Overview" section of the User's Guide to get more
details on how this works. Specifically, look at the sections
titled "Domino Database Backup and Transaction Log Archive"
and "Backup Strategy Considerations."
Thanks,
Del

Subject: Incremental Backup for TDP-Domino
I'm running TDP for Domino (Version 1.1) on a Domino Server (Release 5) on
an NT
Server running 4.0, sp5. When I ran the first incremental backup of the
domino
databses,(domdsmc incremental *) it looked at every database and backed
them up
as I would expect a first time incremental backup would. Essentially, a
full
backup totaling approx. 73 gig of data and 1400 databases. Since then I
have
been running nightly incrementals, and it appears to perform a full backup
on
any database that has changed, and not just difference within the database.
It's been returing approx 70 gig or so a night, which is not what I had
intended. Even when I run a domdsmc query dbbacukp /inactive, it does show
multiple versions of a database, but each version of a database appears to
be a
full backup. Am I misunderstanding the intention of the incremental
backups or
doing something wrong.? Why isn't it backing up the changes in the
databases?
My ADSM Server is an SP2 node running ADSM Version 3.1.2.40
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
