Hi Jeff,

Can you explain me (or send an email) about how you can use incremental backup 
based on trans logs? I had read admin guide for NML 3.0 and I succesful run a 
backup job for full. When I choise incr, he make a full again.
I edit that conf file but..
I enabled also trans logs in archive mode as is describe in manual.
Can you tell me which save set do you set up for backup and other parameters?

Regarding your problem I saw the same behavior on SQL recovery. When there are 
a lot of incrementals it takes too much to rewind tapes. FOr example if you 
have 2 incrementals, you can restore data PiT at a specific time between that 2 
incr. This it takes too much (hours). 
If you have possibility try to use backup to disk and after that migrate to 
tapes (staging).
