Thanks, Tim,
What's a Q systemobject?   That command doesn't seem to produce anything,
do I have it wrong?
Thanks,
Julie

Incremental backup process all of the system ojbects on our Windows 2000
Domain Controllers.


I've done full restores with many client versions including 4.2.1.20 and
4.12.12.

The default is to include system objects with DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL.  What is
your domain statement?

Have you done a q systemobject from the b/a command line?

Subject: Backing up Active Directory on Win2000


Hi all,
I'm not familiar with Active Directory on Win2000 but I've been told by one
of our Win2000 guys :

      There is a System Object selection list that includes the following
items to backup using TSM:
            Active Directory,  COM+ DB, Event Log, Registry, RSM, System
   Files, System Volume

      But it appears like only the following System Objects are currently
being selected for backup:
            Event Log
            Registry
            RSM

I'm wondering if by default, incremental backup does not back up all of the
System Objects?   Do I need to specify something in the DSM.OPT file or in
a client optionset to get it to do all the system objects in Active
Directory?
Thanks,
Julie Phinney
