You can do two things : 1) Create multiple backup schedules by splitting up the data if this is a Windows various shared drives and have them run in parallel or group filesystems in different schedules in AIX or Linux.
2) Use journal based backups http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmfdt.doc/ans6000099.htm 2) is what you want but it has its pros and cons.

The client has 18 million files to inspect when doing a daily incremental backup that begins at 9PM and as you can see below took almost 11 hours. As you can guess this just isn't acceptable to run for this long period of time. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be done in order to get this server backed up incrementally in a quicker fashion? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4952I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects inspected: 18,540,895(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4954I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects backed up: 225,018(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4958I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects updated: 0(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4960I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects rebound: 0(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4957I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects deleted: 0(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4970I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects expired: 3,376(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4959I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of objects failed: 0(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4961I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Total number of bytes transferred: 25.57 GB(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4963I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Data transfer time: 31,313.02 sec(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4966I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Network data transfer rate: 856.53 KB/sec(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4967I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Aggregate data transfer rate: 685.82 KB/sec(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4968I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Objects compressed by: 0%(SESSION: 40206) 10/23/08 07:59:24 ANE4964I (Session: 40206, Node: CHRS141) Elapsed processing time: 10:51:47(SESSION: 40206) Node Name: CHRS141 Platform: AIX Client OS Level: 5.3 Client Version: Version 5, release 5, level 0.6 Policy Domain Name: AIX Last Access Date/Time: 10/23/08 10:55:10 Days Since Last Access: <1 Password Set Date/Time: 08/24/04 12:55:29 Days Since Password Set: 1,521 Invalid Sign-on Count: 0 Locked?: No Contact: Open Systems Compression: No Archive Delete Allowed?: Yes Backup Delete Allowed?: Yes Registration Date/Time: 08/24/04 12:55:29 Registering Administrator: LIDZR8V Last Communication Method Used: Tcp/Ip Bytes Received Last Session: 241.55 M Bytes Sent Last Session: 3,157 Duration of Last Session: 10.16 Pct.
