Unfortunately, this turns the "Can I get it done in time without running
out of scratch?" problem into "Can I get it done in more time, across a
constrained network, without running out of disk storage pool?".

Not always a win. Also, 5.4 solved the "How do I make an offsite copy of
NDMP data?" problem, even if you are going NDMP direct to tape.

Are you referring to the older version of NDMP, or the "Filer-to-Server"
capability that was added with TSM 5.4?  This allows you (I believe) to
store the NDMP data in normal TSM storage pools, rather than sending
directly to a NAS-attached tape library.
