Hi,

I partly agree with the OS statement. Partly because I find it difficult
to explain why an OS is able to contain one disk with +6 million files
but the back-up application isn't able to get the back-up stable
(journaling) or working at all (normal incremental) without using time
consuming options like memory efficient.

Splitting a disk over multiple nodes means hard coding the subdirs under
root in the opt files. If a system administrator puts new data in a
different folder, this data will be mist. Work around, adding a extra
node which has a exclude.dir for all dirs already being managed by the
other nodes.

But what if the root is de container of all data? Meaning, the profile
disk of a windows box with all profiles (6000+) in the root of the disk?
Do I really want to be force to configure multiple nodes + one extra to
get the backup of this monster running? MemEff runs for over 36 hours
and Journal db is +2 GB within 24 hours.

Regards,

Karel

To add a bit of detail:

All modern Windows versions (except possibly Vista) have a hard-set
limit of total memory that can be dedicated to a single process thread.
(I believe it's 192MB, but don't quote me on that.) It is a hard limit
that cannot be gotten around.

Steve's workaround is an option. The other option is to use two
nodenames for the same machine, with two option files/sets of TSM
services/etc. One node backs up half the machine (by using
include/exclude lines in the option files), and the other node backs up
the other half.

The real fix? Use a real server OS.
