TSM doesn't support backups to local client media. However, an
alternative solution is a real-time replication app like DoubleTake. You
can replicate desired files across your T1 to a box that is already a
TSM client, and then backup the replicant. I'm a big fan of DoubleTake.

Email me offline if you're interested.
