We have had to turn our Journaling off of 2 NT servers, one an NT 4.0 box,
and the other a Win 2000 box.  Both are using 5.1.0.1 TSM clients.  The
reason we had to turn off was that the server would hang in the middle of
backing up.  Since turning off this has not been a problem.  We seem to
think that the memory on the client had something to do with the millions
of files that were trying to get journaled.  All other NT boxes do not have
any Journaling problems. These are the only 2 turned off.  And it is not
5.1's fault because we have some 5.1's running on other clients.

Thank You,

Gee, I'd disagree...
this example has a small percentage: 12,000 files backed up out of 4
million - but it still took a long time because it had to walk through 4
million files to FIND those 12,000 that needed to be backed up.

The walk-through-4-million is exactly what the Journal-based backup
prevents.
