I usually do 2 things to verify whether or not a journaled backup
has taken place:

        1. First of all, look in the dsmsched.log file and look to see if
you have the message:

                Using journal for '\\xxx-yyyyyyyy\c$'

        If you see this message, a journaled backup has taken place for
that filespace. You should see this message
        at the start of the backup.

        2. Verify that the journal size is adequate. If you see a message
like the following in the jbberror.log,  your journal size (specified by
parameter JournalDBSize in tsmjbbd.ini) is set too low. If you take the
default (as specified by Pete Tanenhaus
in previous posts as a recommendation) you should not have this problem.

If Journaling is on and working does this report at the end of the backup
look correct? If it's supposed to be looking at a journal log, local on the
computer, why is it taking 10 hours?
