Sebastian, errno = 10054 is WSAECONNRESET. It means that the TCP/IP connection was reset and the socket was closed, terminating the backup. This normally points to some type of network related issue. While logged on to the same ID that shows the failures, try using FTP to transfer some files (both directions) from the machine running the SQL server to the machine running the TSM Server. Repeat this a few times to see if you see similar problems.
If you do not see any problems, and your network team does not see any network issues, please call IBM support so they can gather some traces from both sides to diagnose the problem.
