I installed the backup archive client (5.4.2.0) on  Windows 2003 Server.  I ran 
a full backup of 2.7 TB.

I scheduled the regular incremental backups to run nightly.  I noticed that the 
backup was taking anywhere from 4 - 9 hours to complete.  The client was 
scanning thru approximately 5 million files to backup 40GB - 150GB a night.

I installed the Journal engine on the Windows server, and now I notice that I'm 
spending 8 minutes - 30 minutes a night to backup the client.


I ran across a couple posts that say the following:

 "you'll need a full backup after the journal engine starts"


What does that mean based on me having installed the journal engine after I had 
already done a full backup?  Does that mean I need to delete my filespaces, and 
do a brand new full incremental?

If anyone can clairify this for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
