Bad design totally! I remember struggling with backup/restore times to satisfy SLA with huge filesystems having many files... And those were logs. One of proposals we did was to split filesystem into smaller ones and keep old logs on filesystems with read-only. Backup would be skipped, and restore (in this it was TSM) would be much faster if image would be used. j.
