My experience for Journal Based Backup is that it does not fix problems you can run in when single filesystem has millions of files/dir's in a single filespace and you get the "ran out of memory" symptom, the reason is that you must complete one non-journal based incremental backup before the JBB can start journaling, and on default, every first time after Windows reboots.... Also I have the feeling that the "MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES" does often not help.
Split up filesystems or throw in extra memory are perhaps, in some cases, not an alternative. Others experience and solutions very welcome :) Best regards, Kolbeinn Jósepsson - Systems Engineer Tivoli Certified Consultant - IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.1 IBM Certified Deployment Professional - Tivoli Storage Resource Manager V1.2 www.nyherji.is "Maurice van 't Loo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 05.10.2005 08:46 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject Re: Tivoli Continuous Data Protection for Files Hi Richard, I use CDP right now as a test for backing up local files on workstations. As fas as i seen, i don't know if you want to use it on fileserver with that many files.... Try it on your workstation first, than you see the product for yourself. Did you also tried: "MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES" ? An other thing you can do besides putting more memory in your server is to split the filesystems....

I have a server with millions of files and directories that I can not get backed because the TSM client either runs out of memory and shuts down trying to do an incremental, I tried journaling but it keeps failing as well. This product seems to be journaling continuously which would be good so the journal would not fill up and fail but can it complete the initial filesytem backup.
