I backup 10 win2k servers all with about 150GB of files consisting of 5
million+ files and about 14,000 files change per day per server.  With the
current 5.2 tsm client loaded it is taking about 25+ hours to backup.  Is
there anyway to speed this up?  I tried LVSA and it didn't work because the
agent needs an idle period of time before it can take the snap shot which
these servers are always busy and our Win2k servers use HP secure path to
access san storage.  And the LVSA agent seems to cause the system to hang
while trying to perform a snap shot on the san disk.  I was thinking of
using Journaling.  Is that a good option for this kind of setup.



Thanks
