I am trying to backup a LARGE SQL (4TB) database via the SQL TDP, without
success.

It will run for a while and then die - usually with the error: ANS1017E
(RC-50): Session Rejected : TCP/IP communications failure.  The last try
backed up 125GB before failing.

I have greatly increased the server communication timeout (6000 seconds)
guessing it is a timeout issue.

I know very little about the SQL TDP (v5.5.5.0 - base TSM client is
6.1.3.2 - yes I know it needs updating) and config options.  Is there a
way to breakup the backup into chunks, like you can do with Oracle
backups?

Suggestions?
