I have a windows 2000 clients (v5 sp 4 build 2195) running tsm 5.1.7
who's incremental backup never ends.  Using the timestamps next to
message:  ANS1898I , it is taking between 5 minutes and 1 hour to parse
through 500 files.  I have 100+ other servers that take about 2/100 of a
second to pass through 500 files.

Tried rebooting the client and ran performance monitor.  Neither helped
or showed any problems.

Here is the bad server:

07/11/2004 14:23:08 ANS1898I ***** Processed   194,500 files *****
07/11/2004 14:25:17 ANS1898I ***** Processed   195,000 files *****
07/11/2004 14:34:18 ANS1898I ***** Processed   195,500 files *****
07/11/2004 15:16:52 ANS1898I ***** Processed   196,000 files *****

Here is a typical server:

07/04/2004 21:45:02 ANS1898I ***** Processed   649,000 files *****
07/04/2004 21:45:05 ANS1898I ***** Processed   649,500 files *****
07/04/2004 21:45:08 ANS1898I ***** Processed   650,000 files *****
07/04/2004 21:45:10 ANS1898I ***** Processed   650,500 files *****

Does anyone have any ideas?  The usual questions have been asked (what
changed?) but we still come up blank.

Thanks,
Ralph
