Hi TSM'ers


Does anyone know the difference between a full DB backup and an incremental
DB backup while running in rollforward mode?

Currently, I can't see why they are different..  A full DB backup will clear
the log in rollforward mode and any changes from that point onward are
recorded as transactions in the log. An incremental backup saves all the
changes since the last DBBAckup - why does this not then clear down the log
records that recorded those changes?

What logrecords are actually cleared by the incremental DB Backup?

Matt.
