Re: netware client 5.1.5 cluster support

Hi Dave, I don't know the Netware Cluster but AFAIK you should use separate TSM client nodes for the local drives and each clustergroup (or whatever this is called in the Netware cluster) and its drives. Each TSM node has its own dsm.opt and uses as DOMAIN only the drives that are local to him.

Re: Very long backup/So many files

Very easily! The problem is not that you are only backing up 12,222 files, but unless you are using the Journaling service, TSM has to look at each one of those 4,000,000+ files to see if it needs to back it up or not. The 10 hours is being spent doing this. We have many clients in this

Re: Very long backup/So many files

The only disadvantages we have come across so far are... If the journaling service is stopped for any reason, the next time a backup is run, it will be a full incremental, meaning it will once again inspect all of the files on the client, because it can't determine which ones may have changed
