If you stop and restart the service, then tonight's backup will be a full
incremental.  The journal service has to be running continuously between 2
backups or TSM will always default to a full incremental.

It's not there but the service is started.

This is set to the default and there is no error message in this log
I guess I'll stop and restart the service and see what kind of reports I
get
tonight.
