No. What it means is that you can't do journaling on non-local disks. This
means backups cannot take advantage of what journaling gives--the ability to
do directory scans prior to backups. On very large filesystems it takes TSM
some time to do the directory scan required for a backup. I've seen
directory scans on very large file servers (admittedly NetWare servers) take
as much as two hours before a single byte is backed up. Journaling
circumvents this and gets data moving across the wire much faster.
