I am currently trying to backed up a directory with about 3 million files in it. The problem I am having is that is gets to a point and then fails at about 2.3million files.

James - When posting to this technical forum, we can help you only when you provide details... Provide us with the error indication you are experiencing. Tell us what kind of TSM operation is being performed (command string literal, GUI operation, etc.)
A directory containing 3 million files is absurd to start with (unless you really mean a meta directory with a tree of subdirs). If it is actually millions of files within a single directory, get the owner to render that rational, with subdirectories.
You may well be running out of virtual storage space if performing an incremental backup, in which case that client system needs a vstorage boost.
