Mine does the same, and it is not a drive problem, it is simply becuase TSM has to scan all objects in the storagepool being backed up, to see if they have been backed up or a copy should be made. For big storage pools that can take quite some time, and especially if running at the same time as expiration or other DB heavy activity. -- Best Regards Emil S.
