I have a netapp share that is being backed up through a Windows 2003 server and
is taking 23-25 hours to run. It is on a gigabit network, processing
approximately 3.9 million items. Does anyone have any suggestions how to
accelerate this job? Max mount points=7, resourceutilization=7,
YMMV:
Enable NFS on the share, and mount it directly to your TSM server.
I realize that it is anecdotal, but I've seen NFS backups complete in
a quarter of the time compared to CIFS.
Have you considered NDMP?

Sounds to me like the TSM Client, a Windows 2003 server needs to have more
memory.
Or it's virus scanning the file share as it's backing it up.
Also look into the 'snapshots' that NetApp may be doing on the file
shares.
Are you also backing up them in addition to the current data?
That could

I would upgrade your TSM server to 5.4 and use NDMP to backup the
NetApp.
With 5.4 you can do NDMP backups over the network much like a regular
TSM client. I just did this for a customer with a million file CIFS

Your posting contains no information on what analysis you've done to
gain perspective on the problem, and the dominant area in which time
is being consumed. Valuable basic information can be had by
performing repeated Query SEssion commands as the backup session
starts, and as it runs.
