Very cool..................

I can't believe the difference it makes.

>From 4 hours to 8 minutes.     Unbeleiveable.........

When are they coming out with one for Linux?   I see only AIX & Windows 
available.

No, you are good to go.  What that statement assumes is that you installed the 
Journal Engine before you ever ran the backup and that you shouldn't be 
surprised to see a longer than normal backup take place.

Cool, huh?  Those guys at IBM...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Journal Engine install on Windows

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,
