IMHO,
do yourself a favor and buy a couple of 36 GB disks, dump your databases to
disk (dump database master to "/home/database_dumps"), then use TSM to backup
the databases as regular files (dsmc inc /home/database_dumps/).
Doing backups this way allows:
- extra copy of the database on disk
- the performance can be great, we can dump our main database at over 40MB/s
- if you need to load dumps into other servers, you can NFS mount
/home/database_dumps, and then you don't need SQL Backtrack licence for every
box or SQL server

Hi All,
Are there any TSM Agents for Sybase available? Anyone using them,
and if so, are they reliable?
Thanks,
