Are you doing client compression?
Is the W2K3 server 32 or 64bit?
Do you have full gigE end to end (no routers or edge switches being the
bottleneck)?
I have 32bit Exchange TDP clients running in the 18-25MB range, some of
my 64bit SQL Server TDP clients reach 95MB (1TB in 3hrs), but most of my
32bit app Windows servers are more in the 5-15MB range.  All of these
use client compression.

Forgot to mention; the backups/restores are on separate, dedicated
interfaces on both client and server, all at 1Gb full.

Still looking for an answer.  Will update with any resolution.

Hi Sam,
   I had a similar problem with a notes server running W2003.
I was using the tdp client for lotus notes.  My work around was to take
a
second network interface
on the server and lock both the port and the client down to 100/full
duplex. This tdp client is the only one I
have to run on this second interface and it works fine now. I don't know
if you have a hdwe. second interface, but if you
do, try adding another ip address and give it a try...TSM allows for the
use of more then one hdwe.  interface...

At any rate kindly let me know what your resolution is as I'm
interested...

thx jimmyd
