Thanks  Justin and Miguel

Miguel for the client we are using those recommended settings, they have
been in place since we started backung up the clients. As for the TSM
server settings I don't believe they need to be adjusted as we have many
other clients that are running fine.

Thanks

And  Use dedicated networks for backup (LAN or SAN).
