Try using the itdt tool to generate an I/O stream to the Protectier, take TSM out of the picture. If it runs the same (slow) speed, then the problem is on the Protectier side.

TSM Server is 6.3.2.0 on AIX. Backup DB to ProtecTIER is DBB (Full) while Backup DB to LTO4 is DBS. We've tried different combinations of NUMSTREAMS and DEDUPEDEVICE without any success. It's seems to be slower and slower... Any suggestion ? Thanks. -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي Erwann SIMON
