You're saying that every time I reboot my Domino server, ALL my databases will 
be assigned a new DBIID and I'll have a full backup
next time????? I must admit I have not seen this behavior on a Domino server.

And even if every database gets a new DBIID when you reboot/restart Domino, 
this doesn't effect the ARCHIVELOGS command.

Remember that this would reflect normal TSM for Databases (Domino) behavior. 
The Domino agent will back up only the logs for a given
database or mailbox unless the file in question has a new DBID. When a new DBID 
is issued, the agent backs up the entire file.
Domino files get a new DBID when:

1. the Domino service is stopped and restarted; or 2. the server is rebooted 
(see #1) 3. the file is reorg'd
