You're right! Started out at v5.3.0 on Win 2003. Have upgraded to v5.3.2.2, v5.3.3, and downgraded back down to 5.3.0 to work through various issues (win error 1450, insufficient resources). Journaling may not be answer either, though I would love for it to be, because there is a high degree of file movement on this client (can you say buffer overflow?). And oh yes, it is taking its sweet time in file inspection. But there has to be way to handle this...

That might help with the incremental backup issue. Could be a lot of the time is just in navigating the file tree. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bell, Charles (Chip) Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 5:26 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Loaded client/server question I've posed the sob story on here before, but I have a client that has 39 NTFS mounts with millions of files on each. When backing this up on an incremental basis, it takes multiple days now. Also, the TSM database grows at a rapid rate, and I have PMRs open on both issues. Now...my question is should I have a separate TSM server serving this client or should I have 2 instances? I can't back up this client to the current TSM server because we can't continue to feed the Enterprise DB for this one client. I seriously need some suggestions and how-to's because I've never experienced client behavior such as this. :-( Feel free to email me directly if you have any ideas... God bless you!!!
