I would investigate journal based backups for AIX. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/c_bac_jbbunix.html
-----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Moyer, Joni M Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 12:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Slow client backup Hi Everyone, I am looking for suggestions on how to improve the backup of an AIX TSM client: Node Name: CHRS141 Platform: AIX Client OS Level: 5.3 Client Version: Version 5, release 5, level 2.0 Policy Domain Name: AIX To a TSM AIX server at the 5.5.5.0 release. 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!
