A smaller TCP window will cause the client to send fewer packets before waiting for the ack from the first packet. How fast is the server network? How many concurrent backups?
I would look at slowing the TSM server or spreading the backups. Never really thought about it because my backups take too long.

I have already set a large window for the clients to use, and I am reading about client side de-duplication, and adaptive file backup. Are these the only two avenues to reduce the bandwidth used by TSM? Thomas Taylor System Administrator Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Cell (443)-974-5768
