One of the problems that has been reported on ISM is that it doesn't do

After much research I disocvered that the ISM system does a FULL backup
of the bootstrap information if the backup is run on a Sunday, but it
only does incremental backups on the other days.
Now that is all very well if you do daily backups but many of the sites
that I manage didn't want backups on Saturday or Sunday when there is
nobody at work.
So now I'm modifying all sites to do backups on Sunday thru Thursday
rather than Monday thru Friday.

We're running XPS 8.50.fc2 on Solaris 8, and I have found that the bootstrap gets backed up only if onbar is run by "root", in which case the bootstrap backup is automatic. It doesn't seem to matter what day it is, but I will be watching it.
