René,

3,1024 should be fine.  If there are problems with the
Information Store not freeing resources, going to
Microsoft is a good direction. I have seen this
problem before (especially in an MSCS setup).
In the case of the MSCS situation, Microsoft
issued a hotfix to resolve it. Many times Microsoft
support has problems recreating in house,
and when they use NTBACKUP, it does not
fail near as often because it uses such small buffers.
(NTBACKUP uses an equivalent of 1,64.)

As far as the TSM message issue... I will look into it.

Thanks,

Del
