because TSM processes on a file system basis...
since / is a single file system, it will start a single process.
Do you only want / backed up ?  what about /usr and /opt & /var, etc....
they are not part of /
Now if you said
        incr -subdir=yes
then you would see a process for / kick off, along with one for /usr, and
one for /opt, etc... up to 4 total (1 master & 3 slaves I believe)

Now if your / is actually some 100 GB file system annd you really want more
processes running against it, break it down using the "virtualmountpoint"
option in your option file (check the manual out for proper placement &
syntax) but you could make different subdirectories under / be virtual mount
points (ie virtual file systems to TSM) and then you could have it fire off
a separate process against each of these virtual mount points...

later,
