You don't need to script it. Add the "memoryefficientbackup yes" parm to your dsm.opt file - this will force the B/A client to process your incremental backups one directory at a time rather than scanning the entire filesystem at once. Since you *only* have 2.5mil files but they are taking up 17TB, I'm assuming you have some large files there. It might be worth your while to look into enabling subfile backups on some of the larger filetypes. In our shop, .pst and .mdb files are often reduced 80% this way. And I'm assuming you're using journaling, but if not, you should be. Steve Schaub Systems Engineer, WNI BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee 423-535-6574 (desk) 423-785-7347 (cell)
