Bill,

I  also run a incremental Domino database backup daily, Monday to
Saturday,
 and I have never  known a full backup to take place after a reboot .

And your comment on ARCHIVELOG command leads me to believe I  may have
a problem of some sort. At the very least we are backing up too much
transaction logs.

Thanks to you & Mark for responding.

Bill

You're saying that every time I reboot my Domino server, ALL my databases
will be assigned a new DBIID and I'll have a full backup
next time????? I must admit I have not seen this behavior on a Domino
server.

And even if every database gets a new DBIID when you reboot/restart
Domino, this doesn't effect the ARCHIVELOGS command.

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
