A smaller TCP window will cause the client to send fewer packets before waiting 
for the ack from the first packet.
How fast is the server network?
How many concurrent backups?

I would look at slowing the TSM server or spreading the backups.  Never really 
thought about it because my backups take too long.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Bandwidth

Good morning,

        I run TSM 6.3.4


How do I throttle bandwidth so that the clients don't choke the network during 
backups. I have already set a large window for the clients to use, and I am 
reading about client side de-duplication, and adaptive file backup. Are these 
the only two avenues to reduce the bandwidth used by TSM?
