SAN for sure would help.
We made a server for customer to backup 600+ GB Oracle DB with TSM client 
compression for 5 hours over Gigabit Ethernet. SAN-attached LTO can be 
even better but you have to use tape drive compression, not TSM client in 
such case.

Subject:        Backup of 300 GB Data within 12 Hours

Hi,

what is your opinion about backing up or restoring 300GB data with TSM
within 12 hours from one client? Possible or not? Do I have to use a SAN
that I get acceptable transfer rates? If there is anybody out there who
backs up such a big amount of data:

How is your "TSM"-area constructed? (e.g. Server-type, LAN, SAN ...)
