Interesting.  I guess it depends on how big your servers are.  I have one node 
with >60M objects.  Without the journal, it takes days..........He has to run 
with memoryefficient since it could never hold the meta-data in memory for that 
may objects.

Question 1: Journaling, but not OFS as standard  Question 2: a) I dont keep the 
journal database on a reboot or service shutdown, and since the Windows 
machines generally dont have an uptime of +1 year, each time the machines are 
rebooted, we get a normal incremental for free. Never seen any problem with the 
journal not backing up all files though.  Best Regards  Daniel Sparrman

client features do you install by default  I would like to get some idea of 
what features of the Windows client do you install, by default, when doing a 
brand-new client install.  Folks here are just starting to realize the benefits 
of using the Journaling feature (yeah, I know, it is not a new feature - I have 
been trying to get folks to use it but until recently when more clients with 
millions of objects have been complain about 12-hour elapsed times to backup 
20K files, they are now realizing the benefit).  So, do you automatically/by 
default install the:  A - Journaling B - Open File Support C - Both D - Neither 
 Speaking of the journal, the docs say you should occasionally run a backup 
without the journal, just to make sure nothing is missed.  How do you do this?
