Client os win 2003 server SUSe sles9 under vm 5.3. I have a directory tree, don't know how large, tried a dir/s to get a file count, stopped it after 35 minutes. Getting ans1030e during backup. Have already tried memoryefficientbackup yes in dsm.opt. And, restructuring is out of the question. This is a blackboard server and application created and managed. Where do I go from here?
