Sorry for the lack of clarification. I was talking about regular TSM and nodes with millions of objects. Across my 5-servers, I have 10-nodes with >20M and the highest is 97M.

You mean with Fastback, not TSM? When you talk about NQR, No Query Restore, I don't think you're talking about Fastback anymore. -------------------- Lindsay Morris CEO, TSMworks Tel. 1-859-539-9900 lind...@tsmworks.com On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 9:19 AM, Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU <zfor...@vcu.edu>wrote: > Been there - done that - went through a complete restore that took days > (could not do NQR for some of it). > > Why is journaling "not feasible"? > > I have a Windows box with 97M total files (including offsite copy) that > uses journaling and backs up every day.
