Remember that this would reflect normal TSM for Databases (Domino)
behavior. The Domino agent will back up only the logs for a given
database or mailbox unless the file in question has a new DBID. When a
new DBID is issued, the agent backs up the entire file. Domino files get
a new DBID when:

1. the Domino service is stopped and restarted; or
2. the server is rebooted (see #1)
3. the file is reorg'd
