Journaling Service on Win2k
I have few home directory server with about 250GB of data about 5-6million small files with about 23,000 file changes per day. My backups without journaling are taking 33-40hours. Which is why I want to implement journaling service. Do any of you guys out there who are currently using journaling have any advice before I turn it on.

Re: Journaling Service on Win2k
I found journaling to be very useful for exactly such problems. I have a client with only about 25GB's of data, but about 10 million files. The backups were taking 4-5 days to run, now with journaling, they complete well within a 24 hour period and I only run weeklies (customer request) on this box. The one bit of advice I would have is to make sure that you locate the journal DB files on a drive with plenty of space since you have a lot of change on the system every day. I would say locate them on a volume with 1-2GB's of space just to be on the safe side. By default, it will put them in the TSM program folder. Look at the manual to see the directions on where to change the location of these files.
