Been there seen that. I assume you are doing the export from TSM 5.5 with fromdate/todate to pick up the data since the DB backup? Turns out fromdate/todate on an export is honored for files, but not honored for directories.
So when I tried this at a customer, it included kabillions of directory objects, because directories were being bound to a management class going back 6 months. So you get a lot of objects exported, but only a few GB per hour. To test, try running the export on just a node that has TDP data. If that runs a lot faster, that's an indicator you have the directory problem. With a customer I did that had long retentions, we let the export run a couple of days but found we could never gain ground on the daily backups. Ultimately I gave up trying this for customers that had more than 14 day retention. Couldn't find a workaround, it's WAD. After that I told customers when doing a hybrid migration to just export the API clients; Rely on TSM incrementals on the new server to pick up most of the changed files with incremental backups; Leave the old server intact for a while in case they needed a restore from something that got backed up in the gap. Best I could come up with.

We just completed our first server migration (hybrid method) from 5.5 to 6.2. Everything went smoothly, but now I want to export the missing data (written to the v5 server after the database backup) to the v6 server, but the export process is running soooooooo sloooooooooooow! Anybody know why this is? There is no load on the source server en plenty of bandwith on the target server, but export is crawling (about 5 Gb/hour). Thanks for any help in advance!
