I am always installing the both because of many advantages from journaling and 
using VSS during backups. TSM Client creates VSS snapshots and backs up only 
changed files. In my opinion, backup time is significantly smaller starting 
from 10000 files and extremely smaller after 100000 files per server.

I would like to get some idea of what features of the Windows client do you 
install, by default, when doing a brand-new client install.

Folks here are just starting to realize the benefits of using the Journaling 
feature (yeah, I know, it is not a new feature - I have been trying to get 
folks to use it but until recently when more clients with millions of objects 
have been complain about 12-hour elapsed times to backup 20K files, they are 
now realizing the benefit).

So, do you automatically/by default install the:

A - Journaling
B - Open File Support
C - Both
D - Neither

Speaking of the journal, the docs say you should occasionally run a backup 
without the journal, just to make sure nothing is missed.  How do you do this?
