Journal based backups do not always make the backup faster, so I would not 
recommend it for all Windows systems.  There is also overhead involved when you 
turn on journaling.
TSM will do a full scan of the file systems if you are not journaling.  "Full 
backup" does not really apply when talking about TSM.

Subject: [ADSM-L] question about journal

Whether journal based backup is recommended for all Windows boxes? If we
don't enable journal will it be always full backup?
