That sounds promising. Thanks Bill. We use flashcopy to copy the file system to one mounted on another client and backup from there - can I ask if you run online or offline Image backups?

Daily incremental with the Journal and then a weekly IMAGE backup. They don't conflict at all. This server currently is about 5.5 million files on 2 different drives.

However, I'm trying to reduce the 5 hours TSM spends traversing the 5 million+ file in the filesystem each night. I would like to assist the daily incrementals by using Journal Based backups to track changes made to the file system, so before I start desiging a solution I was wondering if anyone out there had a similar situation and ended up with this solution. Or any useful information.
