if the percentage of changed files to be backed up from a client is >5%
then traditional incremental is preferrable.
no other big discriminating points.

Can anyone please explain the disadvantages of using journal-based backup?

what platform are you running(OS on client and server)?
code levels(client & server)?
is journaled backup in use?
how is the client connected to the server (what network)?

Does anyone think a computer that has this many files on it, that only
backed up 12,222 files, should take over 10 hours to complete? I'm having a
problem with this node dropping out a couple of times a night for being
idle
for more than 60 minutes too.

We've double checked the NIC and switch port for the proper settings. When
I
looked at it last night the CPU wasn't doing anything.
