Review the following tunning:


Client TSM:

      - Specifies:
            tcpwindowssize          63    (recommended)           2048
(max) in KB
            tcpbufsize              32    (recommended)           2048
(max) in KB
            tcpnodelay              yes
            diskbuffsize                  32     (recommended)
1023 (max) in KB
            compression             yes

            BufPoolSize       131072 (for server with 1 GB RAM)
            UseLargeBuffers   yes
            tcpwindowsize           63 (recommended)        2048 (max) in
KB
            tcpbuffsize       32 (recommended)        2048 (max) in KB
------ Use up to 3/4 of real memory for a dedicated TSM server

(no other applications).
            tcpnodelay        yes


And  Use dedicated networks for backup (LAN or SAN).
