I have a netapp share that is being backed up through a Windows 2003 server and 
is taking 23-25 hours to run.  It is on a gigabit network, processing 
approximately 3.9 million items.  Does anyone have any suggestions how to 
accelerate this job?  Max mount points=7, resourceutilization=7, 
memoryefficientbackup=no.  All of the netapp shares back up through this one 
server but this is the only one that is this large.  The sys admin setup 
several batch jobs that start separately so that more than one backup can run 
at one time. My TSM server is on AIX 5.3, TSM 5.3 with a 180Gb database, 87.2% 
utilized so I am hesitant to do anything that will further tax the server.   
Any ideas how I can back this up faster without stressing the server?  Thanks.
