ok, substitute "station wagon" for "cargo container" and put it on a plane or a ship.
 
Then do the math. The numbers you get boggle the mind (in terms of bandwidth)!

                Old unix-sysadm maxim:
                 
                    Never underestimate the bandwidth of a 56 Chevy station wagon travelling down the highway at 60 mph loaded with 8mm tapes.

                        how much bandwidth between the sites? is it in encrypted link? does the data need to be secure in transit?

                                Guys,
                                
                                I need to transfer/restore approximately 75-100gig of data residing on a couple SP nodes here (US) to an AIX server in Australia. This is required in order to refresh a Sydney development environment w/ a copy from our production corporate Financials environment.
This will include application code (many small files) as well as 50+gig of database files. We have TSM server running @ both the locations. Could you guys please discuss options(TSM ,non TSM ) around this and give me your recommendation on the best method to handle this.
                                
                                Thanks,
                                  
                                Shekhar Dhotre
