Hi, I also run into this problem. Thomas Rupp described why this happens. I am considering to run periodically "dsmc selective" on this directories. Maybe once a month, this will brind all files on one tape. If you go this way as well, do not forget to check your backup management class, maybe you will want to increase number of versions to keep accordingly

I have to backup a W2K server with a 160GB disk where the Windows XP User profiles are stored - about 1.5 million files and 20GB. These files have spread over a lot of tapes - a restore of a user profile just took 4 hours due to mount wait and tape positioning time. Node Collocation is enabled - filespace collocation wouldn't help as this node has only one filespace. I will give Richard Sims suggestion on how to create a VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT on Windows a try. Or has anyone else found a way how to backup and restore user profiles efficiently? Client: 5.1.5 on Microsoft W2K cluster Server: 4.2.2.8 Kind regards and greetings from Austria Thomas Rupp Vorarlberger Illwerke AG
