If you're using your Isilon for NFS backend, I would make the following
recommendations:
* Use multiple mountpoints to the Isilon from your TSM server (e.g. Isilon
Client). I would use IP addresses or direct IP connection to the
underlying Isilon nodes to spread the load out against the entire

Here's an excerpt from official TSM documentation for TSM Server 7.1 as a
limitation for deduplication:
Encrypted files
The Tivoli Storage Manager server and the backup-archive client cannot
deduplicate encrypted files. If an encrypted file is encountered during data
deduplication processing,
Have you examined the network topology altogether. Our Exchange
environment has network hops all over the place so our networking guys
recommended adding a VLAN tag to both the TSM server and the Exchange DB
servers to do backups. In that way, all hardware firewalls, IPS's,
load-balancers, etc.
Also, if you do image-level backups of 600GB to LTO6 via a large-enough
network link (1Gbps), you should be able to get a fast enough backup, and
object size doesn't factor. You can also turn on journaling if on Windows
or Linux or AIX, and you can do incrbydate. Lots of options. We'll need

Bill,
Thanks for info. Just curious, are you utilizing source-side dedupe or
relying on the TSM identify to identify all your duplicates
(post-process)? How does the maxsize parameter interact with source-side
dedup? I'll have to look that up.
