The only client we have is where the server is located. We are running TSM
to backup one RS/6000 F50 server. And backing up 70 GB in 8 hours doesn't
seem right. Is there anything that I can do to speed this up. We run a
Magstar 3570 connected to the F50 server through SCSI.
TSM Version 4.1.2.0
AIX Version 4.3.3.0

Aggregate uses wall-clock time;
Network uses the intervals between when the client says "I'm sending data
now", to when the server actually receives it.
It's perfectly normal to have aggregate be a lot slower than network.
If you really want to speed up your backups, you need to
look at the accounting log records (.../server/bin/dsmaccnt.log - see admin
guide for layout)
to see which of your clients suffer most from idle wait, media wait, or comm
wait.
