The two are not mutually exclusive.  A domain is a set of meta file collections
(volumes, file systems, etc.) defining your default incremental backup objects.
A virtualmountpoint is a way of subsetting a file system, to have a directory
regarded by TSM as it were a meta collection.  The virtualmountpoint object
would usually be then named in a Domain definition.
