Once you install the Journaling service, the TSM server will have to go through one "old" backup of the host to get things started. This does not mean a FULL backup, it just needs to do a regular incremental where it must scan every item in the directory. So it means one more LONG backup to complete and then it should keep track from then on.
It works great in cutting down backup times, however, sometimes the journal gets "wacked" and the TSM client must do another normal incremental to get synced up. So, once in a while, you may still get a LONG running backup.

I ran a full backup of 2.7 TB. I scheduled the regular incremental backups to run nightly. I noticed that the backup was taking anywhere from 4 - 9 hours to complete. The client was scanning thru approximately 5 million files to backup 40GB - 150GB a night. I installed the Journal engine on the Windows server, and now I notice that I'm spending 8 minutes - 30 minutes a night to backup the client. I ran across a couple posts that say the following: "you'll need a full backup after the journal engine starts" What does that mean based on me having installed the journal engine after I had already done a full backup? Does that mean I need to delete my filespaces, and do a brand new full incremental? If anyone can clairify this for me I would greatly appreciate it.
