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?
