The only thing that has worked for us in these types of cases is to run a selective backup rather than an incremental. This way TSM just backs up every file rather than going through the examination process. This may or may not help you as I don't know the specifics of your systems.

It appears that it is examining over 15 million files which to me is most likely the root cause of the backup taking so long. Is there anything that can be done to make this backup run faster/more efficiently? Please let me know. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
