If you have already checked this and it is very obvious to you, please
don't be offended, but it has been a very common occurrence throughout
the life of network backups.

Have you checked that your NIC is hard coded to 100MB Full Duplex and
your switch is also the same. You could also check if your switch is
showing any CRC errors. Lastly, try an FTP from client server to TSM
server to establish if the network is performing outside of TSM.

Again, if I'm teaching you to suck hen produce, apologies.

            TSA's up to date as recommended by Client Doco

      Currently we have had a backup running for 24 hours and all that
has
been transfered is 4.19 gig and 255,000 files scanned. Has anyone else
experienced similar issue's

      Any help on this would be appreciated
      Regards Cameron
