Are you sure that figure isn't nearer six HUNDRED thousand? (600,000 in
british money)

Like bruce said, you might be better off with Journal Based backups.

Hi *SM-ers!
TSM server 4.2.2.0, TSM client 4.2.2.0 on Windows NT SP4.
I have got a strange problem with one of my Windows NT clients.
The backup cycle runs for almost 24 hours. The thing is that the actual
backup runs fine:

You can see that backing op an almost 4 Mb. file takes about 2 seconds,
which is ok. But the file scanning runs at an excruciating low speed:

Scanning 6000 files takes 16 minutes!!!
Has anybody seen this before? I really don't know how to 'debug' this...
Thanks in advance for any reply!!!
