Hello,
I just watched a incremental db backup running. My db is 81 GB in size of
which about 70 GB are used. The log is set to rollforward mode and about 7,5
GB in size. At the moment the backup started the log usage was 85% with 37
MB data in the db changed. From the start of the process until the counters
in the "q proc" output increased it took about 10 minutes. The whole process
took 20 minutes compared to 60 minutes for a full db backup. I wish it were
faster. Has anyone had similar experiences?
The backup is going to 3590E tapes via SCSI. The db is on SSA, the log on a
internal harddisk. The server is a RS/6000 H70 with AIX 4.3.3, TSM is
5.1.6.2 since this morning. But with 5.1.1.6 it was the same.

Regards
Gerhard
