Another consideration, are you using the memoryefficientbackup setting in the
options file?

See below:

*  NetWare Memory management option
*  ---------------------------------------------------------------
*  The following option uses a memory conserving algorithm for
*  processing incremental backups as each directory is backed up.
*  This option may increase the duration of time required for
*  backups and increase CPU utilization on the TSM Server.
*  But will decrease the required NetWare memory needed for backups.
*
* MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES
 MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP NO
