Once you install the Journaling service, the TSM server will have to go
through one "old" backup of the host to get things started. This does
not mean a FULL backup, it just needs to do a regular incremental where
it must scan every item in the directory. So it means one more LONG
backup to complete and then it should keep track from then on.

It works great in cutting down backup times, however, sometimes the
journal gets "wacked" and the TSM client must do another normal
incremental to get synced up. So, once in a while, you may still get a
LONG running backup.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Journal Engine install on Windows

I installed the backup archive client (5.4.2.0) on  Windows 2003 Server.
I ran a full backup of 2.7 TB.

I scheduled the regular incremental backups to run nightly.  I noticed
that the backup was taking anywhere from 4 - 9 hours to complete.  The
client was scanning thru approximately 5 million files to backup 40GB -
150GB a night.

I installed the Journal engine on the Windows server, and now I notice
that I'm spending 8 minutes - 30 minutes a night to backup the client.


I ran across a couple posts that say the following:

 "you'll need a full backup after the journal engine starts"


What does that mean based on me having installed the journal engine
after I had already done a full backup?  Does that mean I need to delete
my filespaces, and do a brand new full incremental?

If anyone can clairify this for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

James Choate
