Hi Ben,

Here are some items to get you started:


Backup-Archive client with limited, high latency network (WAN backups):
===============================
TCPWINDOWSIZE           512
RESOURCEUTILIZATION     4
COMPRESSION             Yes
DEDUPLICATION           Yes
ENABLEDEDUPCACHE        Yes

Tip:  Do not use the client deduplication caching for applications that 
use the IBM Spectrum Protect API.  Refer to section 1.2.3.2.1 for 
additional details.


Backup/Archive client or Client API with limited network (Gigabit LAN 
backups):
===============================
TCPWINDOWSIZE           512
RESOURCEUTILIZATION     10
COMPRESSION             Yes
DEDUPLICATION           Yes
ENABLEDEDUPCACHE        No


Backup/Archive client or Client API with high speed network (10 Gigabit + 
LAN backups)
===============================
TCPWINDOWSIZE           512
RESOURCEUTILIZATION     10
COMPRESSION             No
DEDUPLICATION           No
ENABLEDEDUPCACHE        No


Tip:  For optimal data reduction, avoid the following client option 
combination:

COMPRESSION     Yes
DEDUPLICATION   No
