Hello

Easiest way to solve this is to use the journalbased backup.

Journalbased backup will eliminate the need for inspection of files at 
every backup occation. The journal service will instead keep track of 
which files that has been changed, in real-time.

        Subject:        Tuning to backup Millions of files


Hi!

I have an NT server that has an Optika application (Imaging) running on 
it.
It has to search 2 million+ files nightly and ends up backing up about
100,000+ each night.  The problem is that it takes about 8 hrs. to do this
backup which is not acceptable.  Does anyone have any tuning parameters
that may help this issue?  The files can not be split up among directories
anymore than they are.  They want their cache files backed up so they copy
them over to another directory and we back them up from there.  We are
upgrading their hardware to see if that helps but if there is any tuning I
can do on the TSM side, that would help also.

Thanks,
