The way TSM does this is in the TSM 5.4 and 5.5 Technical Guide under the
section "10.1.2 Filer-to-server"

They use the NDMPv2 3-way spec to perform this task, which is why they are
calling it "3-way".  The difference is that the library manager is acting
as the destination data mover.
It doesn't look like TSM performs a "3-way" backup where the data can be
routed through a filer destination.

since TSM 5.5 this is supported. The documentation on how to configure
it is quite un-IBM like, almost non-existant. I believe that there is
exactly one page in the TSM server admin guide on this topic.
