Just one more tip. You will probably need to increase commtimeout and idletimeout in dsmserv.opt (server parameter)
By IBM support we have commtimeout=120 (seconds) and idletimeout=30 (minutes). Those values are mostly based on experience. When you start playing with those parameters watch for ANR0481 and ANR0482 messages in server activity log and fine tune it again. Joe Crnjanski Infinity Network Solutions Inc.

In the end, its down to how big your pipes are and how much data needs to get through them. This is a situation where clearly identifying important data and restore requirements may help to limit the data being sent through to TSM. Other options could go along the lines of backing up on alternate days etc..

Unfortunately the clients are NOT Windows boxes so I can not use adaptive backup or journaling features. Currently I am not aware of the daily change rate of data on each system. My initial thoughts are to perform a staggered initial backup and then once complete implement a daily incremental backup. Things that I am looking for would be advice on the best performance tuning parameters to use.
