I'm not sure why all the data would be getting backed up unless they were
also choosing the "Backup Always" option in the backup dialog.

A couple of things to try:

1) Have them start the GUI and select Action/Backup Domain from the menu.
This will cause all file spaces in the domain to be incrementally backed
up.

2) Better yet (see the second-to-last line of my signature information!),
create a shortcut on the desktop with the target being the fully-qualified
path to the CLI (dsmc.exe) followed by the INCREMENTAL command. When they
double-click on the shortcut, it will start the CLI and run the
incremental backup; when the backup is complete, the CLI will shut down.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

        Subject:        W9x TSM Client Backup, v4.x



As simple as this may initially appear to be, I have a W9x client backing
up
to our TSM server (v4.1 running on AIX).  Attempting a successful,
scheduled
backup to occur without user interaction is simply not worth my effort on
this O/S.  So, they are responsible for opening the GUI, selecting LOCAL
and
commencing the backup periodically themselves.  However, TSM attempts to
backup everything every time!  I have no Management Classes that would
dictate such a thing to occur.  Any idea's or or similar experiences?
