The incremental commmand inactivates any active database
backups on the TSM server that are excluded from backup.
The dsmtest.opt file inactivates all databases in the
mail directory. Domino databases are stored by their
relative names in the TSM server so relative names
must be used on the include/exclude statements. The
leading '\' should be removed.
