I believe you will have to break the backup into chunks and hit a
certain number of high-level directories in each backup.  Unfortunately
if you add another high-level directory you will have to remember to add
that directory to a backup schedule.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Unable to complete backup of Window's 2000, client
failing with - PrivFindDir: No memory to allocate new DirEntry

I have a Window's 2000 SP4 client (with 8 GB of system RAM) running TSM
5.3.0.8 that has two TB of data and around 22 million files in
approximately 11 million directories.

The data is on one drive and must stay on one drive due to application
requirements.

Looking for suggestions on how to complete a backup without running out
of
memory?
