hello,

the reason for slow backup or archiving is in my expierience mostly a
mismatch in switchport speed. On the other hand i had very backupperformance 
after
there had been a   new virusscan engine installed. In this case the W2k
Servers show no influence but the 4.0 NT Servers did. In this case the CPU-Usage
is up to 100%. So may have a look at applications which are in conflict with
your TSM-Clients.
