Hello Paul,
yes we have a serious performance problem here. We went from 3.1.0.6 to
3.1.0.7 on a Netware client 4.11.
Our adsm server is 3.1.2.20 (OS/390).

The backup elapsed time for 25000 files inspected (only 50 files backed up)
increased from 2 min. to 43 min.!!!

As you can see below, the first backup after installing 3.1.0.7 provoques a
general update of every file (56 min.).
A subsequent backup has no update but elapsed time stay high (43 min.)

Will this negative effect go away with the next server release (3.1.2.30)??

Thanks for any IBM help.
