You may want to consider using co-location on the machines that are part of your disaster recovery plan. Co-location forces TSM to separate your backup data at the storage pool level. I had a similar problem as yours and by using co-location I cut the restore time down from 30 hours to about 4. Also, I strongly recommend that you look at using DRM (a component offered along with TSM) as well, it'll save you alot time and money.
Good luck
