We are backing up 2 servers of capacity 1.2 TB everyday. We have shark
system and flash copy is implemented on shark. Without client interference
we backup 1.2 Gig to TSM. It's running with 6 drives. No LAN/Free. But it's
Client/Free backup. To restore we have placed Gbit Interfaces in Client and
TSM Server.

You need to give more information of your server and database.

Are you doing incremental or full backup and which database you have?
If incremental how much data is changed everyday?

Can you afford GBit interface between data server and TSM? ( IT needs 2
adapter and 1 switch)
How many drives your library have? How many SSA adapters are installed in
server?

Thank you,
