hi,

yes, you should use a different database file to backup different system if you are giving command from the same system.
because by default, fbackup uses /var/adm/fbackupfiles/dates,

-d option can be specified with the fbackup command to specify a different database file.

Hope i understood ur question correctly

with best wishes

In all the three command this will backup to /home/a and backup from the previous level will be lost.

The following command I am using to backup one of my machines, if you are doing a weekly level 0 and a daily level 1 backup. They may be helpful. Here are the two commands:
fbackup -f /dev/rmt/1m -0u -g graph -I index

fbackup -f /dev/rmt/1m -1 -g graph -I index

Are you doing remote backup from serveral systems using same tape drive on your loacl machine?

This will not work.

The backup data in /home/a of 0 level will be destroyed by 1 level backup.
