Uhm.. this is interesting.. What is my opinion?
I think TSM DB won't be a problem.. I think your main problem will be to do an incremental backup or in case of backup image is the individual file restore. With your information .. I will think in a GPFS Cluster.. and copy the files through several cluster nodes in parallel. You can even use TSM for Space Management.. More, FlashCopy will provide you a copy of data. You will need more space but it will be quickly and you will get the data online in short time. The problem is if you want to restore one file you need to mount the flashcopy in other machine and restoring the file. But the main advantage in case of machine fails and you need to restore the whole scenario you can restore the files more or less quickly. More.. I will try to launched several sessions in parallel against TSM Server 6.2 ( of course) you will can divide by unit or filesystem. and testing if it will be a solution valid for you Finally NAS solution could solve some previous issues.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
