Paul, This client has 4 Gigs memory and a 560 Meg maxdsize. HPUX 11.0
1. Count files per subdirectory to find where they concentrate. 2. Run backup, watch physical memory and ps -el | sort +9n to see if you hit kernal parameter or hardware limit. 3. Add memory .. tune maximum amount of physical memory allowed to a single process (maxdsize) on HP.
