We used to run SQL Backtrack and we now run TDP for SAP R/3. In my opinion here are the differences
SQL Backtrack Benefits - great compression ratio - seems to handle well large databases Disadvantages - licenses are based on size of database if you grow alot (which we do) you spend alot of time and money upgrading your license - support seems to frequently blame the problem on tsm TDP for SAP R/3 Benefits - licenses are based on server not database - support is Tivoli so it can bounce between TDP and TSM support with little effort on your part - a little bit more flexibility between threads and multiplexing as to who data is passed. Disadvantages - compression is only blank space - doesn't seem to handle as well databases over 500 or so GB....this is improving slowly This was our experience and I will happily answer any other questions offline Becky -----Original Message----- From: Rolf Meyer [mailto:rolf.meyer@;SUBNET.DE] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 12:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TDP for SAP R/3 versus BMC SQL Backtrack Hello, on our site SQL Backtrack is in production for nearly two years. Now I have to compare both solutions. We are running 50+ SAP systems on HP and SUN Solaris systems with Oracle 64bit databases. Has anyone draw a comparison of this two products? Are there major benefits in one of the products? Any comment will be helpful. Thanks in advance. Rolf Meyer Systems Consultant Info Business Systems GmbH 22607 Hamburg
