Depending on circumstances, this might be a candidate for adaptive differencing, TSMs version of a block level incremental. You will still have to at least once do a complete backup of the big files though.

Some of the clients fail the schedule very frequently. Could you recommend me some options to increase timeout (any kind of timeout). I pasted the schedlog of one of the clients below which starts at 19:00.
