I've seen that behavior on a system with a lot of open files (it keeps a context entry to go back and check later in the run to see if the file is closed and available), but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Is this the first backup of that filesystem on this server? Sometimes the first backup does consume a lot more resources than the future incrementals. But, that said, no, that's not unusual. The TSM client is a pig for resources. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
