Assuming there is nothing obviously different that might be causing this
such as the 2nd client listed below already having a heavy load on it, or
backing up over an extremely slow connection (modem? Even that probably
wouldn't take 5 hours though!) - you're going to have to do a trace to solve
this one and see why it's taking so long. 5 hours to scan 600k objects is
incredibly slow. The fact that the first client zips along fine more then
likely indicates it's not a problem with the TSM server.

Are you using the latest client level? What client and server level are you
using? What are the platforms on both nodes below? All in all, I'm reaching
here.. do a trace. Call Tivoli support if you need help with doing one.
