Hi Willi,

I have a file set with roughly 12 million files with a size of just over
1 TB. The only problem I had with that job (in terms of number of files)
was when I tried to enable accurate backups for it, which crashed
something (director/database/file daemon), because it needed a boatload
of RAM that I didn't have.
