With the incremental... on the restore, rather than a single step restore
dsmserv restore db dev=tapedevc vol=blah commit=yes (as it
would be with all full's)
you would have to do
dsmserv restore db dev=tapedevc vol=fullblah commit=no
dsmserv restore db dev=tapedevc vol=incblah commit=no
dsmserv restore db dev=tapedevc vol=incblah commit=no
dsmserv restore db dev=tapedevc vol=lastincblah commit=yes
but this won't take a whole lot of extra time...
mainly saves you time on the front end when making the backups.

I do a full once per week (on Sunday night when the network has the least
traffic), then I do an incremental on Monday thru Sat nights.

Subject: DATABASE backup question FULL or INCREMENTAL?
I am doing a nightly database full backup with ADSM/TSM. (TSM 3.7.4 on
OS390/2.10)
What is most commonly done a Full or Incremental?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of a full over an incremental backup
of the servers database?
The command we enter is as follows:
backup db type=full devclass=dboffsite
Where dboffsite is the a tape device class.
