Hi Folks,

I have a question regarding DBBACKUPTRIGGER.
First I will set the scene. We have ADMIN SCHEDULES defined to execute a
FULL DB BACKUP weekly, and on a DAILY basis we take two INCREMENTAL DB
BACKUPS, again using ADMIN SCHEDULES.
Our DBBACKUPTRIGGER is defined as follows :


             Full Device Class: 3590_CLASS
      Incremental Device Class: 3590_CLASS
           Log Full Percentage: 60
    Incrementals Between Fulls: 14
Last Update by (administrator): SL073E
         Last Update Date/Time: 04/04/02 11:04:27

Now the question.
If more than 14 Incremental Backups are taken after a FULL DB BACKUP, should 
the 15th Incremental not automatically trigger a FULL DB BACKUP ?

We had some problems at the time a FULL DB BACKUP was scheduled on two 
consecutive weekend's and ended up with an incremental count of 26.
I could not understand why a FULL DB Backup had not been triggered.

Or have I misunderstood DBBACKUPTRIGGER ?

Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks.
