Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Running an Incremental Backup on a Memory-Constrained Machine

The performance of an incremental backup suffers if your machine runs out of available memory during the backup. If you have enough memory on your machine, you can use a more efficient method of backing up your machine. Turn off the memoryefficientbackup option in the options file:

memoryefficientbackup no

Specifying memoryefficientbackup yes (the default) causes Tivoli Storage Manager to back up only one directory at a time. If you have poor performance even when using memoryefficientbackup yes, check your communication buffer settings and the communication link between your machine and the server.
