Hi Richard,

I use CDP right now as a test for backing up local files on workstations.
As fas as i seen, i don't know if you want to use it on fileserver with that
many files....
Try it on your workstation first, than you see the product for yourself.

Did you also tried: "MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES" ?
An other thing you can do besides putting more memory in your server is to
split the filesystems....

Regards,
Maurice van 't Loo

Has anyone used  " Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files" product
on a file server with a very large amount of files and directories. I
have a server with millions of files and directories that I can not get
backed because the TSM client either runs out of memory and shuts down
trying to do an incremental, I tried journaling but it keeps failing as
well.  This product seems to be journaling continuously which would be
good so the journal would not fill up and fail but can it complete the
initial filesytem backup.





Thanks
