That's the time it takes to query the TSM server for the inventory of Active files for the file system: the more you have, the longer it takes. Using Memoryefficient Yes spreads the server hit over time, and may be warranted in situations like where the backup session is going to run into the client's busy day period, and you don't want an enormous dsmc schedule process impairing memory performance. (I'm painfully familiar with this in Cyrus mail system backups.) Thereafter, the TSM client begins marching through the directories in the file system, comparing contents against its acquired inventory list. Richard Sims at Boston University
