When this thread was last active, I had discovered, thanks to a tip on
this list, that MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP YES was the default, and set it to
NO. That did help some.

But all our Mac clients still run extremely slowly. A WinXP box and a
Mac G4 OSX 10.3 box, both running TSM 5.3.2, are sitting side-by-side,
so they have the same network connectivity. But the WinXP machine backs
up about 15 times faster than the Mac. The wall clock time for the Mac
is about 4 hours, compared to about 10 minutes for WinXP. We added a Mac
client contaiing about 1TB of data, and it is still running its initial
full backup after a week.

What can be done to speed up the Mac TSM client?
