Thanks for the replies. We are using journaling but the problem is the machine runs out of ram unless we force disk caching for the pre-backup processing--which is obviously much slower. It could be worse, taking around six hours here, I was just hoping that doubling the physical ram to 4 GB recently would have gotten me past this issue. The next step is obviously moving this filesystem to Win 64 server or split it up into different LUNs to accomodate TSM/Windows memory limits.
Here is the output from the sched log:
