Hi TSM-ers,

How do you backup your server based Windows user profiles?

I have to backup a W2K server with a 160GB disk where the Windows XP
User profiles are stored
- about 1.5 million files and 20GB.
These files have spread over a lot of tapes - a restore of a user
profile just took 4 hours due to
mount wait and tape positioning time.
Node Collocation is enabled - filespace collocation wouldn't help as
this node has only one filespace.

I will give Richard Sims suggestion on how to create a VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT
on Windows a try.
Or has anyone else found a way how to backup and restore user profiles
efficiently?

Client: 5.1.5 on Microsoft W2K cluster
Server: 4.2.2.8

Kind regards and greetings from Austria
