Hi Eric,

We did some tests on Windows XP (not 2000). When we
did an incremental backup on a system without a
DOMAIN statement in dsm.opt a file space of
the type "SYSTEM OBJECT" would appear on the
TSM server for this node.

So I think one can assume that the system object
is included by default.

Best regards,

Alexander
