Our schedule: Domino compact Part1 - First half of databases - Friday night 2-4 hour Domino compact Part2 - Second half of databases - Saturday afternoon 2-4 hour Full database backups - (domsel & domina) Sunday morning - Sunday Morning 8-10 hours inactivate logs as the full database backup starts.
Monday - Friday noon and 9pm - (dominc) incremental database backups 1/2hour every three hours - (domarc) transaction log backups There must be some maintenance process running on Sunday or Monday that is changing all the DBID's. The incremental will only pick up the files that have changed DBID. I do not know the process names (is it fixup and updol) that will also change the DBID's.

We run the compact on Friday Sat and Sun -fulls Inactive logs- after the fulls complete Incrementals (Mon-Friday) All the dbids shouldn't have changed in 1 or 2 days, and I am only getting zinged on Monday Incrementals(which is really a full), not the rest of the weekday schedule. Our compact runs on Fridays for a few hours, then the full on Saturday(1st email server), and Sundays(2nd email server), then the incrementals (Mon-Fri)- and the Mon night incremental is catching all the databases again, but not on Tues, Wed, etc. Also, the inactive of the old trans logs after the full backups completed on Sat and Sun. We used to the run the compact during full backup, but changed it for 'best practice' to Fridays instead of during the full backup.

Questions: Is there some process running after the full that is changing the DBID? Does this also backup all 1800 on Tuesday? We had this scenario one week and luckily figured it out quickly. For us, the full ran Saturday, then on Sunday they ran a compress on all databases. The compress changes the DBID. Monday incremental caught all databases again. Our cure was to run database cleanup routines on Saturday, and do a full backup on Sunday. This has a slight risk if there is a problem during a cleanup routine, we might have to restore to previous Sunday and roll forward the entire week, but this is very rare (we haven't needed this yet.).

The problem we noticed is that we run the full email db backups on Saturdays and Sundays, then Monday-Friday night we run the incremental backups. Which instead backing up a few ids, it's backing up all the 1800 mail databases all over again on Monday only(another full) when in fact the full backup ran successful on Sunday.
