Hi List,

        I have a 700GB Oracle DB to backup every day. It's a 4.3 AIX
box...soooo LAN Free not an option for my TSM 5.2.2 server. I have
dedicated GB nic's on both the TSM client and TSM server. The network
between them is not over utilized. I am backing up directly to FC LTO II
drives.  Can anyone give me some strategy suggestions on how to get this
backed up as quickly as possible.  Suggestions for performing multiple
thread backups or maybe some TCPIP client options that can be tuned or
anything else you could suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
