Geoff, Make sure you are not using the QUIET option (just in case you are). QUIET is nice when things are going well, but it is best to not use it when diagnosing problems. Assuming that you are not using QUIET, then make sure you see the 'Using Journal for ...' messages. If the messages are not there, then a couple of things occur to me:
1) Was this the first incremental backup you ran after turning on journaling? If so, then this is normal: the first backup will be a full incremental (not to be confused with full backup) so that the journal database(s) and server can be synched. Or did you do anything else (like reboot) that may have caused the journal to require resynchronization? 2) Do you have all desired drives configured to use journaled backup, via the JournaledFileSystems parameter? What does your tsmjbbd.ini file look like?

This is set to the default and there is no error message in this log I guess I'll stop and restart the service and see what kind of reports I get tonight.
