When we had a similar problem Servergraph/TSM told us the bottleneck was the
network I/O. Upgrading the TSM server to a gig ethernet card and switch
dramatically improved the backup times of our Novel clients.

Hello,
We have a Novell client who's backup is taking to long
We added the Resourceutilization line (8) to the dsm.opt file
but it's still taking long. Does anyone have any suggestions
on what else I might take a look at or do that would help improve
the backup time. The backup starts around midnight.
Here is the DSM.OPT file
