We are testing TSM 6.1.2.1 under AIX 5.3-09-02.
I have found that "BACKUP DATABASE DEVCLASS=DBB TYPE='Incremental' 
VOLUMENAMES=' db151209.dbv'" produces 2 files in directory:
-rw-------    1 tsm      tsm       419537593 Dec 15 13:09 db151209.dbv
-rw-------    1 tsm      tsm       453116604 Dec 15 13:09 60871748.dbv
It looks we have two sequential incremental backups. Am I right? What is the 
second file?
For TYPE='Full' TSM produces only one file.
Device class DBB is:
tsm: BKME>q devc dbb f=d
