<br>
at first to understand mmbackup: you should know that mmbackup use a fs or independend fileset snapshots (--scope) to compare the content of shadow db with the generated snapshot. This compare generated filelist that are then used to make a selective backup
over dsmc.<br>
To generate these mentioned snapshot you must paramized mmbackup with -S. If you had trouble you should run at first a rebuild oft he shadowdb with --rebuild.
<br>
I think a backup over a snapshot itself doesnt work. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
