Hello:

I need some on advice on how to handle backing up large files, more 
specifically, a 4 GB file.  I am running a small TSM instance running version 
5.4.2.0 and the client is also running 5.4.2.0.  This is what the client log 
says when trying to backup file:

07/23/2012 09:51:42 Retry # 1  Normal File-->     4,457,963,520 
\\ami-hph-pacs\d$\Program Files\RamSoft\DB4\PACS46REST.FDB  ** Unsuccessful **
07/23/2012 09:51:42 ANS1809W A session with the TSM server has been 
disconnected. An attempt will be made to reestablish the connection.
07/23/2012 09:51:57 ... successful
07/23/2012 10:24:00 Retry # 2  Normal File-->     4,457,963,520 
\\ami-hph-pacs\d$\Program Files\RamSoft\DB4\PACS46REST.FDB  ** Unsuccessful **
07/23/2012 10:24:00 ANS1809W A session with the TSM server has been 
disconnected. An attempt will be made to reestablish the connection.
07/23/2012 10:24:15 ... successful

It retries about five times and then fails.  Here is the output of "q option" 
from my TSM instance:

I made a few changes that I thought would help, but hasn't so far.  I changed 
the "Retry Period" from a specified time to "Client".  I also added a client 
option to the client option set called "CHANGINGRETRIES" and set the value to 
"50".  Is there a way to change the minutes between retries?  Can someone 
please point me the right direction?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you...
