You can run resourceutilization at a setting greater than the default (2) to get multiple backup threads running. That would speed things up. If that's not an option, you need to consider more resource for backing up data that needs more resource. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

;re attempting to use TSM in a situation where you've got *way* too few tape resouces for the amount of data you're handling.
