  Is this as good as it can get for backing up Notes. or is 6MB/s just as good 
as it gets.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. I've been looking at this all day with 
the AIX sys admin,
And the Notes admin, and we can't seem to make any headway. We're pushing 11 
hours to back up this
Notes server, and that's getting right at the window.

Specifics on the Notes server and TSM server

We are backing up 2 Notes servers that are running on AIX.
Each Notes server is 250GB.

Each Notes server is taking 10+ hrs. to back up. We are using TDP for Mail to 
backup the Notes servers.
The mailboxes are on a jfs2 filesystem (ESS F800 SAN device).
The Notes servers are backing up over the network via Gb ethernet.

TSM server is TSM on AIX 5.3.5.1 / 9 LTO1 drives / 3 LTO3 drives / Gb eithernet 
for LAN (Backups run on LAN)

We set the statistics on for TDP on the client side and captured statistics. 
Here is what that yeilded.
