1 - ADSM will not reset the archive bit after making a backup of a
    file.  I believe in the case of the NetWare client ONLY the changing
    of the archive bit will case ADSM to back-up the file because ADSM
    only checks if the flags attribute has changed but does not
    evaluate the individual bits in this flags field.  Someone please
    correct me if I am wrong on this.

2 - For a command line backup you can try
    load dsmc i -pas=password (CLIB_OPT)/>sys:backup.out
    Sorry, at this time there is no way to get that information for
    all clients from the server.  If you want to see what is backed up
    you can try
    load dsmc q backup turin/sys:* -pas=password (CLIB_OPT)/>sys:files.out
    for each of the volumes.

3 - Both the dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log will grow until your volume
    runs out of space.  Automatic pruning is performed with the
    SCHEDLOGRETENTION and ERRORLOGRETENTION options in the client
    options file.  One warning if you keep these files big and the
    volume they reside on is small you need enough space for two
    copies of the file on the volume for pruning to work.

4 - The DSMACCT.LOG is the server accounting log file.  This does not
    apply to your MVS server.  If you want accounting records for the
    client sessions you will need to
    1 - SET ACCOUNTING ON
    2 - Make sure you have SMF running and gathering record type 42
        subtype 14.

Hope this helps - David Bohm, ADSM technical support
