Hi,

the best option to save millions of file under NTFS is using TSM for Fastback.

      1.- you can run backups incremental for ever. 
   2.- you don't have backup windows.
      3.- you can integrate TSM for FB with TSM 
      4.- you can give service very quickly in case of disaster.

Asunto: Re: best backup method for millions of small files?

Richard,
The total nightly delta size is about 300MB (less than 20,000 of 20k files)
I am trying to test the journal to verify whether it works with
incremental-by-date for image backups or not. If you have any other
solution, it is welcomed.
