Try to upgrade TSM Client to the latest version (there is APAR from IBM). I have fixed similar problem by upgrading to 6.2.1.1 (6.2.1.2 now). I think latest 6.1.3 has the same fix as well.

I tried adding "memoryefficientbackup yes" to the dsm.opt file, then ran an incremental manually. Things looked better at first, CPU usage stayed low and the paging file stayed below 2.7G. But the client began throwing out thousands of messages nearly identical to the following: 09/09/2010 15:35:29 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\<server_name>\y$\default\main\Some_subFolder\SomePig\Wilbur\Charlotte s\Ping.aspx' failed 09/09/2010 15:35:29 calloc() failed: Size 51706 File cuopt.cpp Line 444 09/09/2010 15:35:29 calloc() failed: Size 51706 File cuopt.cpp Line 445 - The Y$ drive on this server is an IWFS (Intl. Wine & Food Soc.?) filesystem. (Possibly something related to the Interwoven application, which runs on this server.) - It is exactly the same size and utilization, to the byte, of the D: drive but the objects backed up are not the same. - The D: drive presents as a local drive. In Device Manager, two devices are shown under Disk drives as VMware Virtual disk SCSI Disk Devices. They are unnamed. I tentatively assume they are C: and D:. Drilling into properties shows one with "Bus Number 0, Target ID 1, LUN 0", and the other with Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0. I found an old apar IC48767: AE IC46065 related to the TSM 5.3.2 client and specifically related to the Microsoft API call GetFileSecurity. It has superficially similar error messages, but it appears to be something different. ? How do I get successful backups and avoid either clobbering this server, or getting errors for an entire drive?
