Hi,
Scenario 1 sounds correct to me.
For scenario 2, you can specify which objects 'Objects' should be backed up
(the most easy way to do this is through the webinterface I think). So you can
make two schedules, with different objects being backed up. How this would work
with the dsm.opt, I am not sure, maybe leaving that out of the dsm.opt.
Cheers,
Rick
