Chantal, Sounds like TSM journaling would fit your needs. We have several 2003 fileservers with 10mil+ files and 3TB+ (but a lot of this are huge .pst files). Journaling will at least eliminate the filesystem "trawling" that normally happens for incrementals. Be aware that you may need to "tune" the journal config file for specific excludes, buffer sizes, etc. Also keep an eye on the service & logs, as some situations will cause the journal service to abend and dump - again, an indication that tuning is needed.

Every day we add 15 000 files for around 1GB. We made incremental for ever to backup this. The backup is now very long 20 hours. TSM client is 5.3.0.3. And now we thinks it's affect the perfermance on the server from using to much memory.
