Have you looked at virtual mount points and also journaling? I have a few systems with 5 million each acking up to my TSM Server and I have never had an issue with a limit.

So the scanning runs sometimes into 24 hour window and the next scheduled backup starts without actually completing the previous one. I found filelist parameter where you can specify what to backup, we can use this as we know from the database what files were changed. Someone tells me that the Tivoli DB can take only 100million objects for tracking and filist might not be a correct way to do it. He says there is DB2 lite running behind TSM and that has this limit? In this scenario what is the best approach and is there is a limit at all? Even in normal incremental operation how does TSM scan the include directory list, I mean even when it runs normal incremental doesn't that 100 million limit still exist?
