We are running ADSM/BackInt on our SAP-Test system which is about
     20gb.
     Parameters :

     Server HW :  SP Wide node/SC 135 Mhz
     Server SW :  AIX v4.1.5 ADSM 3.1.1.2 BackInt 2.2
     Tape Drive:  3 3590s
     lient HW  :  SP Thin2 66Mhz
     Client SW :  AIX v4.1.5 ADSM Client 3.1.10.3

        Times  :
        Single Tape Drive : 58 minutes
        3 Parallel Drives : 21 minutes

I think that the ability to run to 3 drives simultaneously is the best feature
of BackInt.  I'll let you know the times when we run it on our 130gb production
database.

Rene,

I saw your email regarding ADSM throughput and noticed that you are
using ADSM to backup SAP.
We are evaluating mainframe ADSM for backing up UNIX SAP systems.

Our SAP system here at the Australian Gas Light Company will be about
30GB when we go live.

Can you tell me how large your SAP system is and the time taken by ADSM
to back it up?

Thanks .... John
