Hi,
Can TSM Fastback be a good solution to backup an NTFS filesystem (about
500GB) with tens of millions of files? The daily increment of this
filesystem is about 10-15 GB. Currently we use full daily image backups with
b/a client. Because incremental (even journaling) is not feasible and
furthermore restore would take even days, I wonder whether the block-level
incremental of FastBack can help in this way?

Thanks so much
