We use sap backint on NT to backup an r3 oracle database of 10 gig by
server. We run 12 sessions simultaneously on an archivepool disk . This
takes 1 hour and we backup 2 servers in parallel that is 24 sessions
adsm and 20 gigas in 1 hour and
a half over an atm network to an MVS adsm serveur. This is running nice.
