Depending upon exactly when the Windoze box actually runs out of memory,
this approach is not likely to help.

What you need to do is to "split" the machine with two TSM node names,
two option files, two sets of services, etc. By using includes and
excludes, you give backup duties for half of your files to one node, and
the other half to the other.

Kludgy? Yes. Hard to administer? Sort of. You're having to do
workarounds due to poor server design.

The real solution? *Never* design a single server with that much
storage. Oh, and get off Intel hardware.
