Sean,

I have seen poor performance with many small files, but none as poor as
what your seeing... Have you looked at the TXNbytelimit (client), and
TXNGroupmax (Server) parameters??

Subject:  Slow backup due to large amount of files???

All,

We have a node that has approximately 600,000 to 700,000 files on it and
are
receiving extremely poor backup performance.  Is there anyone out there who
 has
experienced this or is experiencing this now?  If it is past tense,  any
ideas
on how to resolve this?  We do not see this problem on any other client in
the
building.  I would be interested to hear other people's performance vs. our
 own.
On this one node, we had backed up just over 1 Gb in 24 hours.

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot.
