Hi Farren,

A few observations:

1. The script below is doing an "incremental" backup... not a selective.
   With "incremental" backups, the .NSF file will not be backed up unless
   the DBIID has changed. The archivelog will capture the changes.
   The User's Guide discusses this in more detail.

2. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest Data Protection for Domino.
   Site: ftp.software.ibm.com
   Dir:
/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/domino/win32/v5301/
   It includes fixes for some GUI crashes.

3. domdsmc does allow wildcards, so you could do something like:
           domdsmc incremental mail2\* /subdir=no
   If you don't want some databases backed up, you can EXCLUDE them.
   The User's Guide discusses this in more detail.

Thanks,

Del
