1.  Not 100% sure, but Veritas "dominates the market" because they give it
away, right?
I mean, don't they bundle it with Solaris or some other OS, so when they
count their installed base, they count all the Sun boxes whether people are
using it on those boxes or not?

Hope I'm not just disseminating rumor...

2. No other backup product is as robust and well-designed as TSM.  But the
features and efficient use of resources make it complex, so some people may
prefer simplicity and the fun point-and-click interface that come with
Veritas.

3. On a day-one comparison, Veritas does perform better than TSM, because
they BOTH have to do a full backup on day one.  But after a week or a month
has passed, TSM's efficiencies come to light.

TSM resellers have access to a lot of competitive whitepapers - ask your TSM
reseller to dig into the Tivoli site for you.
