TSM DB Backup

[moon-buddy]

I am running TSM V5.3.1.2 on Windows 2003.



I want to define a disk file on the server to be used as an incremental TSM DB Backup area before doing a full weekly backup.



How do I do this?



The backup db command only works on sequential storage media. What is the trick on doing this?



Thanks
