Phil,

The system only has 2Gb total and it would pop when it reached 800 or
so Mb. You could see it growing and growing as the inspection took place
until it finally let go. IBM support put us on
the TSM 5.4.0.2 client and an option of:

memoryefficientbackup=diskcachemethod

This apparently uses a disk cache file instead of RAM for the
inspection process. It kicked off at 20:00 last night, is still running
and has backed up 120Gb so far on that client. This is mroe than we
have been able to do by a long shot so I am optimistic at this point. I
appreciate everyones review and/or assistance in resolving this.

You folks are AWESOME!!

reaching 2gb, then try adding the /3gb switch to the boot.ini (only use
if the client has 4gb or more of ram)
