Hello everyone.

 We are running TSM 3.7.4 on OS/390 2.10 and are using the TSM 3.7.2 client
on a Netware server. Here is our situation.

Our NDS Tree backup take about 18 hours for us to  complete. I am being
told by our Netware support group that this is a TSM client issue because
according to them Arcserve can backup our tree in 10 min.

 I have very limited knowledge of how Novell and the NDS tree backup works,
but I was wondering if anyone else has seen similar times and if there is a
way to decrease the length of the TSM backup when backing up the NDS tree.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks,
    Brian
