Hi, I am by far and away no expert, but here is what I would do....
Since "nothing" has changed on the server, I would guess that the problem is in the file you are trying to back up. Can you turn on tracing or backup by hand to see what file it is chewing on when it dies? There may be something corrupt about the file that is being backed up. This would explain why cycling the client processes yield the same result (ie. It still thinks it needs to backup that file). Tracing may also yield more info as well and would probably be one of the first things that is asked for by support (along with the logs that you sent the list).

Nothing has changed that could explain this error. We have another IDENTICAL system (same hardware, same OS level, same TSM client level, etc) that has 3-5 MILLION MORE files and it backups up, daily, just fine ! In fact, until this problem started occurring, the other IDENTICAL system would backup in 4-6 HOURS LESS than this system eventhough the amount of files being inspected and backed-up (including GB transferred/backed-up) on this system is LESS. We can't afford to make this backup process any slower than it already is (usual run-time is 13-15 hours). Any thoughts/feedback from IBM ? We saw one tid about a restore issue causing similar error messages but 1) this is not a restore, 2) the fix was slated for 5.2.3.4 which we can not run since this is AIX 4.3 !

The message should be titled like "Process memory limit reached. Process ended."
