There is no TDP for sure,  and the AIX server was just upgraded from 4.2.1
to 4.3.3 during the past weekend.  The very first backup of the DB took
over 5 hours.   And this backup is not scheduled by TSM schedule, it is
controlled by MAESTRO (a Tivoli schedule tool).

I am thinking there maybe same paraemeters that require to be adjusted to
speed up the backup to a reasonable time window.

It takes you over 5 hours to backup a 1.8 GB database?  Are you doing a
cold
backup or using a TDP to do a hot backup?  We are backing up 1.2 TB hot in
5:30 or cold in 5:00.  Are you going to a disk pool or a tape pool?
