That seems to talk about when it decides to do a full or incremental, but I must be dense today. It doesn't seem to me like it explains how it decides.

Yes, we're researching reducing SAVSECDTA time. That will involve
switching to authorization lists (which we should be doing anyway), but
that project hasn't been scheduled yet. This IFS issue is a different
issue that has been happening infrequently for some time now. And
looking at the logs, I don't understand it at all.
We've got this in our backup:
Auxiliary Weekly Incremental Full Retain
Save List Storage Activity Media Media Object
Item Type Pool Device MTWTFSS Policy Policy Detail
*LINK *ALLAVL IIIIIFI DAILY DAILY *YES
But from what I can tell, the system did a complete IFS save on 3/23,
3/27, 3/30, 4/06, 4/10, 4/13 and today, 4/17. I only base that on the
number of IFS objects saved (2 million vs a few thousand). I cannot
tell from the logs which type BRMS attempted. Weirdly, it doesn't seem
to me that it is EVER doing a complete IFS backup on Saturdays (3/21,
3/28, 4/4, 4/11).
4/13 was unusual in that it was an ad-hoc mid-month save during the
day. The rest all occured during our overnight processing, in which the
IFS *LINK portion usually kicks off around 2AM (unless SAVSECDTA goes long).
