When this thread was last active, I had discovered, thanks to a tip on
this list, that MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES was the default, and set it to
NO. That did help some.

But all our Mac clients still run extremely slowly. A WinXP box and a
Mac G4 OSX 10.3 box, both running TSM 5.3.2, are sitting side-by-side,
so they have the same network connectivity. But the WinXP machine backs
up about 15 times faster than the Mac.

Hi Roger,
        Do you have some good final stats for both machines? How much memory is
in the mac?


The wall clock time for the Mac

is about 4 hours, compared to about 10 minutes for WinXP. We added a Mac
client contaiing about 1TB of data, and it is still running its initial
full backup after a week.

Hope it has gigE..
