Tim,
You may want to approach the problem from the opposite direction.
Consider your recovery needs and available options and work from there
to determine what product/technology/processes meets your objectives.
Trying to recover a few TB of data within a couple of hours is nearly
impossible unless you use snapshot or mirroring. However the snapshots
only protect you from a subset of problems. Mirroring data similarly
allows quick recovery but also has its limits on protection.
You will probably want to consider how several data protection methods
(i.e. snapshot/mirror/backup and archive) can be integrated together to
provide a cost effective, environment for protecting your data and
ensuring business needs are achieved.
Cheers,

Have been told to look at options to replace TSM. I know there are some

Are there others. Has anyone compared the cost of TSM to other vendors ?
