Hi Joe, Did you get this straightened out yet? The data to back up is sent from the SQL server to Data Protection for SQL. And so, Data Protection for SQL does not "decide" what data to back up. The SQL Server determines this. It is strange that the SQL Enterprise Manager backup tool is acting differently since it uses the same underlying code to create the backup. If you are still having problems with this, please call IBM support and they can diagnose it further.
