dsm.opt performance tunning

[madunix]

I have the following on my TSM Clients, Can you please check it how could I increase the performance of backup from Client Side

PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
TCPSERVERADDRESS 10.10.10.1
nodename Server1
SCHEDMODE PROMPTED
COMMRESTARTDURATION 5
COMMRESTARTINTERVAL 2
TCPBUFFSIZE 64
TXNBYTELIMIT 2097152
COMPRESSION yes

EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\System Volume Information"
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\...\Temporary Internet Files"
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\Recycled"
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\Recycler"
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\$Recycle.Bin"


On each client I run the following
set backup_dir="C:\Program Files\Tivoli\tsm\baclient\"
cd /d %backup_dir%
start dsmc incr e:\* f:\* g:\* -subdir=yes -optfile=C:\tsm\daily_files\dsm.opt >> C:\tsm\daily_files\backup.log

The problem it takes so long for the file inspections

[Trident]

Put resourceutilization 5 in your dsm.opt file, and you should get more throughput.

[moon-buddy]

Enable Journaling for the file backup on E:

Even with resourceutilization set to max (10) and you are backing up millions of files, it will still take a lot of time to run the full course. This of course, I am presuming you have lots and lots (~ hundred thousands or millions) of files on E:.

Otherwise, try Trident's solution first. If this is still slow, enable Journaling.

I will check the above, and update you.
