I have had our networking department reduce the priority for Quality of
Service on all traffic to the TSM servers from all narrow bandwidth sites.
The backup will take much longer, but it will reduce the impact on the site
as a whole.

What about utilizing the subfile backup function in TSM?  It was designed
to minimize the amount of data traffic over narrow-band connections, which
is what you're dealing with.

I posted this a question similar to this one recently,
but thequestion has since been redefined. My
organization has four main sites, each with its own
autonomous TSM server. On several occasions, a user
who is based in site A has gone to site B and
initiated a 2 GB backup over the WAN. We do not have
the bandwidth in the daytime to allow this operation
and a port on the router has the router has since been
blocked, effectively halting all remote
backups/restores. Is there another way to accomplish
this without blocking the port? Purchasing more
bandwidth, storage equipment or paying for inter
server communication are the constraints. thank you.
