You don't need to script it.  Add the "memoryefficientbackup  yes" parm
to your dsm.opt file - this will force the B/A client to process your
incremental backups one directory at a time rather than scanning the
entire filesystem at once.  Since you *only* have 2.5mil files but they
are taking up 17TB, I'm assuming you have some large files there.  It
might be worth your while to look into enabling subfile backups on some
of the larger filetypes.  In our shop, .pst and .mdb files are often
reduced 80% this way.  And I'm assuming you're using journaling, but if
not, you should be.

How can I put all these folders in a Client schedule option script to
backup (incr)  one folder at a time with the client option -subdir=yes.
Finish one, then start a new dsmc script.

Folders are very large and we are running out of memory when we try to
backup the entire f: drive (~17TB) and (2.5 million) files
