Several other points you didn't mention are whether you are going to Disk Pool or straight to Tape and what type of each are you using.
How much other activity going on on TSM server at the same time? David B. Longo System Administrator Health First, Inc. 3300 Fiske Blvd. Rockledge, FL 32955-4305 PH 321.434.5536 Pager 321.634.8230 Fax: 321.434.5509 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/21/04 04:05PM >>> The file size that I tested was 500MB. While the backup is running at 11 MB/sec I used FTP to send another large file down the same pipes and it transfered at 49 MB/sec. So I know that the pipes between server and client will handle the load. I have adjusted the TCPWINDOWSIZE to 64 on the server and 63 on the client according to the Tuning Guide. I also increased the client's TCPBUFFSIZE from 16 to 32. When I backed up on the 100MB network we were seeing 7-8MB/sec, so we have increased performance a little. There is no client compression.
