You might be heading for problems during restore. The restore process
of building a virtual filesystem hierachy of the files cannot handle
this many. I've got around 24 million files in one fileset. That is not
restorable using this method. It works fine if I just restore by "jobid" 
or some of the restore methods that doesnt require the virtual 
filesystem hierachy to be build up and worked on.
