In this one case, Windows is better than all other operating systems...
If they did this for the others Windows would have know advantage.

I can't believe the difference it makes.

When are they coming out with one for Linux?   I see only AIX & Windows
available.

No, you are good to go.  What that statement assumes is that you
installed the Journal Engine before you ever ran the backup and that you
shouldn't be surprised to see a longer than normal backup take place.

Cool, huh?  Those guys at IBM...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Journal Engine install on Windows

I installed the backup archive client (5.4.2.0) on  Windows 2003 Server.
I ran a full backup of 2.7 TB.

I scheduled the regular incremental backups to run nightly.  I noticed
that the backup was taking anywhere from 4 - 9 hours to complete.  The
client was scanning thru approximately 5 million files to backup 40GB -
150GB a night.

I installed the Journal engine on the Windows server, and now I notice
that I'm spending 8 minutes - 30 minutes a night to backup the client.


I ran across a couple posts that say the following:

 "you'll need a full backup after the journal engine starts"


What does that mean based on me having installed the journal engine
after I had already done a full backup?  Does that mean I need to delete
my filespaces, and do a brand new full incremental?

If anyone can clairify this for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
