I agree with the advantages that Zlatko states, except for one thing: even
if you have separate nodes for each partition (which we do), you still
can't get the TSM scheduler to run anything else *for that partition* while
the backup is going on. And if your backup takes a long time, your
transaction log disk fills up, your partition stops, and you have a lot of
unhappy users and 1 unhappy boss :-(

When I said 30+ hours, I meant 30+ hours for 1 partition (and it took 48
hours last weekend).

The same is true for database backups and transaction logs (especially huge
SAP databases).
