In addition, what I would do is drop the INTER, but add MAXTAPEBUF.
I've seen this cut TurboStore OLB Backups from 7 to 1 1/2 hours.

Yes.

The full backup backed up the TurboIMAGE databases *and* marked them as
"DBSTOREd" in the root files.  This, unfortunately, modified the root
files (and thus their modification date) ... so the partial backup saw
them and backed them up.  

*HIGHLY* annoying ... back when I tried getting STORE to replace
DBSTORE, I never had that in mind ... I'd have had STORE reset the mod
dates to whatever it was before the DBSTOREd date was set (preferring
that bit of falsehood to the annoyance the current mechanism entails).
