What I ment was that I have not set the option to retain the journal database when the service is stopped (reboot, restart of service or whatever the cause is) since I consider that a much higher security risk than that the journal wouldnt backup certain files. If you retain the database while the service is stopped, chances are alot of files have been changed that the journal didnt take notice of.
The option to retain the journal database is setting the tsmjbbd.ini. It's default set to off, but in some rare cases, you might want to retain it so that you dont have to redo a normal incremental backup.

Never seen any problem with the journal not backing up all files though.

Folks here are just starting to realize the benefits of using the Journaling feature (yeah, I know, it is not a new feature - I have been trying to get folks to use it but until recently when more clients with millions of objects have been complain about 12-hour elapsed times to backup 20K files, they are now realizing the benefit). So, do you automatically/by default install the: A - Journaling B - Open File Support C - Both D - Neither Speaking of the journal, the docs say you should occasionally run a backup without the journal, just to make sure nothing is missed. How do you do this?
