The book recommends doing a full DB backup (up to 32) and then incrementals
of your TSM DB.. Im looking at the library I use for the DB backups and it
basically has 6 DLT tapes available. Currently weve just been doing a full
each morning to one of the carts and rotating through the 6 carts..

A full basically uses a full DLT tape each time even though Im sure it is
not filling the tapes up. Do incrementals also use a tape each time or would
I basically be doing a full on tape 1, and an incremental on tape 2 for a
number of days until my next full, which I could do on tape 1 again?

Thanks!
