Hi , it depends on how many changes happens daily and the other thing is how fast can the tsm-client scan the filesystem. We have some clients with > 30Mio files and they can scan with tsm more than 5 Million Files per hour - but there is not very much change in the files.
On some clients with also such a mass but with more changes we are mixing the scans with 'normal' incremental on week-end with lower activities and with q schedule made for 'incremental by date' so the client is associated with two schedules like Policy Domain Name: U15040_SM Schedule Name: MO_FR_MAIL Description: Mo-Fr Backup ab 22:00:00 Uhr ... incrbydate Action: Incremental Options: -incrbydate Objects: Day of Week: Weekday ... and the normal one Policy Domain Name: U15040_SM Schedule Name: SA_SO_MAIL Description: Wochenends Backup ab 22:00:00 Uhr Action: Incremental Options: Objects: Priority: 5 Start Date/Time: 04/18/08 22:00:00 Duration: 2 Hour(s) Schedule Style: Classic Period: 1 Day(s) Day of Week: Weekend Thats nothing special , just classic TSM ... with much bigger ones you may split or tsm might be not suitable. best regards Rainer Am 02.02.2012 15:30, schrieb Jorge Amil:
Hi everybody, Does anyone know what is the best way to make a filesystem backup than contains million files? Backup image is not posible because is a GPFS filesystem and is not supported. Thanks in advance Jorge
