We backup about a 1 TB SAP Database nightly hot. We use a disk pool and SQL
Backtrack with 16 threads and then drain the disk pool to 3590 tape drives.
We do it in 3-4 hours. We will be implementing TDP for SAP on production
soon we are currently running it only in development. I would suspect it
would be possible but I am not sure with just 10 drives. You would
definitely want at least TDP 3.2 because there are issues with compression
on 3.1
Good luck and let us know how you do if you do.

Subject: Backup a BIG Sap installation
We have a potential client that wants to backup a 1.2TB SAP database in a
3-hour window. Currently they are using Omniback and an HP SureStore library
with 10 LTO drives SCSI attached.
If we were to repace Omniback with a TSM server on the SAP server, using
those same LTO drives and TDP for SAP, would this be possible? I'm looking
for some real world opinions. Right now I think they stop SAP and backup the
database files. I do not believe they are using SAPDBA.
Thanks,
Bill Boyer
