This doesn't help you with your current restore problem but
will speed up your future backups:

Tsm version 4.2.1.9                               My: 4.2.2.8
TDP version 3.2.0.8                               My: 3.1.0.5
os version Both server and Client : NT 4.0  My: W2K (Client), AIX (Server)
Tape Hardware       LTO                           My: 3590
Type of network          G.Ethernet               My: G.Ethernet        
Number of drives 4                                My: 2
Values:
     MAX_SESSIONS   1                             My: 2
     MAX_BACK_SESSIONS 1                          My: 2
     MAX_RESTORE_SESSIONS 1                       My: 2
     RL_COMPRESSION NO                            My: Yes
     MULTIPLEXING   not set                       My: 3

My backyup takes +- 3h 15mn                       My: 50 Minutes for 54GB       

Have you tried to FTP or copy files from client to server and vice versa?
What throughput do you get?

Hi,

Could you please be as specific as possible?
We would like to know:
* TSM server version
* TDP version
* OS and Version of server and client
* Tape hardware (DLT, LTO, 3590 ..)
* Type of Network (Gigabit Ethernet, FDII ..)
* Number of drives
* Values of MAX_SESSIONS, MAX_BACK_SESSIONS, MAX_RESTORE_SESSIONS,
RL_COMPRESSION, MULTIPLEXING
  in your init<SID>.utl
* How long does your backup run?
