Reviewing the guide it makes no mention of a limit. 

But interestingly states:
"Domain objects are backed up only if you invoke the incremental command
without a file specification. 

TSM uses the domain value in the following situations to
determine which drives to process during an incremental backup:
        *When you run an incremental backup using the incremental
command and you
        do not specify which drives to process
        *When your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator defines a
schedule to run an
        incremental backup for you, but does not specify which drives to
process
        *When you select the Backup Domain action from the Tivoli
Storage Manager
        backup-archive client GUI"

I'm familiar with the syntax. We are using multiple statements in this
case for readability and to make it easier to exclude a specific domain
(comment out the statement) for testing purposes as we're having serious
problems getting the snapdiff feature to work.  

But my original question remains; is there a limit to the number of
domains that can be specified?

Thanks

You can use multiple, or string the objects along one statement
separating them by a space. Remember that if you include an object in
one domain statement then exclude it in another , the exclude trumps any
include.

Not sure why you would want to use more than one, but yes you can.

For further info reference the BA user guide.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Multiple DOMAIN statements

We are in the process of converting a large windows file and print
environment from several very large volumes on 6 servers totaling about
16TB to 35 smaller volumes mounted as CIFS.  We are using two clients to
backup these CIFS shares and my question is; is there a limit on how
many DOMAIN statements you can have in one client and if so, what is
that limit.  I have vague memories of a number like 15, but at my age,
who knows.

Thanks
