Had a similar problem with our TDP for exchange..I would start looking
at your network adapter.  Check duplex settings on adapter.Would stay
away from auto-negotiate...Make sure adapter duplex settings are
consistent with switch port speed and duplex settings...if everything
looks good there, run diagnostics on NIC...In our case it turns on we
had a problem with our network adapter. When we went to replace the bad
network adapter, another network adapter stopped working and we didn't
even touch it.  That led us to believe the motherboard was shot.
Replaced motherboard, backups were normal again.

The system repeats this cycle. It restores about 30 MB in 1 minute 45
seconds. Then "Waiting for TSM server" appears on the client for about
10 seconds. 

The restore process initially timed out after 80 MB until I bumped the
dsmserv.opt parms up (commitimeout to 600 and idletimeout to 45).

TIA

Maybe the SAN

Maybe the LAN

Maybe the TSM server version

Maybe the TSM client version

Maybe the tape library

Maybe the disk pool

Maybe the bits are lost in space
