are there special settings in AIX for tuning the ADSM/TSM-Server, such as

Normally if you extend recovery log by 10-20 %, ADSM starts, but you have to
initiate Full db backup ASAP. If this doesn't work then you have to restore
db from recent tape(s). You can't apply patches to ADSM code when DB needs
recovery.

Zoltan,
I would suggest the problem is nothing but the amount of files that
need to be processed. I have one client with 3 million + files set that
file system to do incrbydate instead of incremental. The results were
definitely worth it. The only loophole I can see with this solution
Consider using the 4.2 client's journal backup feature, which is intended
to eliminate the need to scan the file system for changed files.
The elapsed time represents the total time from the beginning of the
operation to the end. Elapsed time should have been in the neighborhood of
15 hours, but
Journal backup is only for NT right now, right? And he's on AIX...
When might the Journaled backup feature be available under AIX etc.?

Hello *SM administrator. I have pretty odd situation happened to one of my

added a domain line to include all these drives into the client option
I've done some limited tests on an Win2k client where I created roughly
1.5 million 100KB files and backed it up with the 4.1.x client. After
the initial full backup, it took roughly 55-60 minutes to do a backup
due to the fact that it had to traverse the tree. This Win2K server box

Sorry my math was off by a factor of 100.. :-)

David,
Might be worth checking that there are no DOMAIN statements in the clients'
dsm.opt explicitly stating which filesystems to back up, and not including
those excluded filesystems. Does the user that you run the backup as

...We recently upgraded from 2-CPU to 4. It did not improve the backup times,

Compression should not be an issue since it can use 4-fast CPU's.
If you are running single-threaded, you'll be using one CPU.
