I don't know why, but I was pleasantly stunned. DISKCACHEMETHOD on v5.4.1 did
the trick, and I will now try to implement journaling. Thanks!

DISKCACHEMETHOD is in version 5.4.1.  We had a Windows volume with over
7M files which refused to backup and this option worked extremely well.

Dang! I do need to retain those files. Are there any other ideas?

I can try 'memoryefficient yes' in the opt file. I'm on version 5.3.4.3 =
on
this particular client. When did the DISKCACHEMETHOD option come into =
effect?

Just so you know, I also made some memory usage changes in the registry =
on
the machine in question per Microsoft, because it was kicking out a =
memory
error in the dsmerror.log. This has been a booger.

Thanks!

No, it's just one of the bad things that happens when I try to
multitask. :-) I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time...

The concern expressed by John Underdown, though, is valid. If you need =
the
existing backups, excluding them will delete them. If you don't need the
backups for these dirs, then yes, the excludes I showed you (minus the
finger-checks) should work, and exclude.dir won't do the scan.

And yes, re: journaling, completing the first backup (and any subsequent
backups when the journal resets) on a 32-bit Windows system with those =
dirs
included will be a challenge, unless you use MEMORYEFFICIENT=3DYES or
MEMORYEFFICIENT=3DDISKCACHEMETHOD; the latter will require a good chunk =
of
available disk space up front, see the client manual description of this
option for more info).
