-Use compression
-Use sub-file backup. (doesn't work on files larger than 2GB; otherwise
enormous improvements)
-Encryption doesn't hurt if you are moving the data over public network
(Internet)- will be improved in TSM 5.3
-Don't backup system object every day (around 200MB-300MB). Make
additional schedule for system object and C drive (maybe on weekends)
-Choose carefully what you need to backup (include/exclude)

Fellow TSM administrators:
My company is currently looking at backing up approximately 40 NT
servers at our remote locations, back to our local data center. Each
location has around 10gb - 40gb of storage, and very minimal daily
change activity on the files. Some of the locations are 256k data
lines, and some are t1 lines.
Does anyone have a list of best practices? What are some of the options
that you have found to improve the process of remote backups via TSM to
a central location. Any help and input that you can provide is much
appreciated.
