Hello everyone,

I have a situation with an AIX TSM client which is at the 5.5.0.6 release
on a TSM server which is on AIX and is at 5.5.1.1.  The client has 18
million files to inspect when doing a daily incremental backup that begins
at 9PM and as you can see below took almost 11 hours.  As you can guess
this just isn't acceptable to run for this long period of time.  Does
anyone have any suggestions on what could be done in order to get this
server backed up incrementally in a quicker fashion?  Any suggestions are
greatly appreciated!
