How about creating two concurrent sessions from the client to backup
the files.
I didn't see you wrote which was the client and which the server, but
you can
probably run two client instances on both of the platforms you
mentioned. You
may need to have either two entire directories or two option files.

From your post it seems as if both the client and the server are not
showing heavy
utilization so it is possible there is a limit on the number of files
ADSM can handle
per session so creating two sessions may help. Moreover, did you
check your buffer
sizes for the logs and databases?
