Hello all, I have several file servers in remote locations. Beijing. Madrid. Portugal. And many more. And lots of US remote file servers too. Chicago. Houston. North Carolina. And many more. I'm in the US. Michigan. These backups are taking days and weeks to complete. Even after the initial full, incrementals crawl. Some sites are better than others. For some reason Beijing, although slow, is considerably better than Madrid and Portugal. Is the answer simply get (buy) a bigger pipe? I have started new backups of these sites onto a new TSM 7.1 Windows 2012 server. That's all its receiving. Right now there are only 5 sites going to this new server. Looking at 2 Portugal sessions that have been running for 2 days and 21 hours they have transferred not quite 12 GB's. Is there anything from the TSM settings side that might help. There is just one storage pool. It has SATA disk behind it. Here is the OPT file on the Portugal server. All the others are pretty much the same. Thanks in advance.
