TSM Client V5.3.2.1, TDP for SQL V5.2.1, TSM Storage Agent V5.2.3.2 TSM Server 
V5.2.3.2.
Windows 2003 Itanium Cluster with 2 servers.

We are doing some SQL backup testing today.  We have a 2.5 TB database that we backed 
up at 477 GB/hr to 10 tape drives using LANFree (2.5 TB's in 5.1 hours).

We started a logs backup of a 13 GB Log and it has been running for nearly 90 minutes 
so far.  The backup mounted a tape via LanFree right away and has had the same tape 
mounted in the same tape drive this whole time. There are no errors being reported 
anywhere.

On the command window where we started the TDP backup we see "Waiting for TSM server" 
with pages of periods ".".  Then we see a message showing that is wrote some data.  It 
keeps repeating that process.  At the rate being displayed of 620.12 Kb/Sec it looks 
like the Log file backup is running at around 2 GB/hr.  Any ideas what might be going 
wrong?

We still have all the settings maxed:
Buffers 8
Buffersize 8191
SQLBuffers 0
SQLBuffersize 4096
Stripes 10

These same settings didn't seem to effect the full backup adversly?
