Hi Mehdi Yes, since Fastback uses VSS snapshot technology on a block-level, you will get past the problem of TSM inspecting millions of files.

The daily increment of this filesystem is about 10-15 GB. Currently we use full daily image backups with b/a client. Because incremental (even journaling) is not feasible and furthermore restore would take even days, I wonder whether the block-level incremental of FastBack can help in this way? Thanks so much
