Look into performing an "image" backup... then it will just be a single TSM
db entry
BUT you only have an "all or nothing" restore possibility, you won't be able
to just restore a single file out of the file system.

Subject: Archive or backup question


We have a cache directory on an AIX server that has about 8 million
objects. We want to archive this maybe twice a week for DR purposes and
only keep one copy. The trouble being it blows out our database with all
the objects and the schedule log blows out the files space where it is
saved to. Does anyone know of anyway to backup/archive this amount of
objects and not blow out both the DB and the filespace?

Any help or comments would be appreciated.
