I've impelemented just this at a client of mine. Daily incremental with the 
Journal and then a weekly IMAGE backup. They don't
conflict at all. This server currently is about 5.5 million files on 2 
different drives.

Subject: Image Backup with Journal based backups

*SMers,

We are currently using image backups once a week to perform the full image, and 
daily normal incrementals to keep up with Jones'.
However, I'm trying to reduce the 5 hours TSM spends traversing the 5 million+ 
file in the filesystem each night.

I would like to assist the daily incrementals by using Journal Based backups to 
track changes made to the file system, so before I
start desiging a solution I was wondering if anyone out there had a similar 
situation and ended up with this solution.

Or any useful information.

Many Thanks,
Matthew
