Also consider using subfile backup. You can turn it on just for that one client, and just for .pst files, if you wish. It lets TSM do an incremental at the BLOCK level, so it only sends the part of the .pst file that has changed.
We have hundreds of win2k clients with large .pst files, and they were killing us. Turning on subfile backup dropped our nightly backup load by 25-30%. -----Original Message----- From: Nelson, Doug [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 2:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 98 Workstation backup problem COMMTIMEOUT defaults to 600, try increasing it to 1500.

The backup seems to be running fine until it hits the users pst file which is over 1 gb. When it gets to this file it starts to back it up but then after a while just hangs. The client side only shows the following message in the dsmerror.log " failure in communications open call rc: -50" My activity log just shows client terminated, did not respond in xxxx seconds. If I exclude her pst file the backup runs fine. Although her NIC is set at auto, the transfer rate shows very good. Anybody have any suggestions?
