Gill, There is no reason to have separate dsm.opt files unless you're using a different nodename for any of those backups. Right now the only dsm.opt files you should have is one on the baclient directory for the B/A Client backups and one on the domino directory for the TDP backups (archive, incr, and selective). The exclude for all nsf's and ntf's should be in the opt file on the baclient directory. Make sure you didn't put it in the dsm.opt in the domino directory.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 9:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TDP Domino We, meaning the Notes guys, had got things working with the Domino agent recently. To backup the backups the nsf files were being backed up by the regular baclient till we figured out if the TDP we configured was working properly. On Monday we added an exclude to remove the nsf files from the standard backups and all of a sudden the Domino Monday to Friday incremental backups went from backing up 300+ DB's to less than 10. Can anyone explain why this happened? We know for fact there should have been at least 100 db's that changed and should have backed up. Should we also have separate dsm.opt files for each of the 3 Domino type backups we have doing, archive, incremental and selective? Thanks for the help.
