Sorry for the confusions. What happened is one of our clients use SAP, DB2 running on AIX. They use TSM as their backup software and I configured the DB2 to do online backup using TSM. They have been performinging their backups(40 - 50 GB daily) that way.
They called me yesterday and told me they were made to purchase TDP for R/3 and they asked me how they can be benefited by using it. All I know about TDP for R/3 is from manual "Tivoli Data Protectio for R/3 Installatio &User s Guide for DB2 UDB". So I need somebody who has TDP for R/3 experience give me some points. Thanks a lot!
