I am inheriting an HP box that houses an SAP/Informix database.  We use a
3494 library with 3590E tape heads.  We are at ADSM server 3.1.2.90 (on AIX
4.3.3) but will upgrade to TSM 4.1.  What are my options for backing up a
115GB SAP/Informix database?
 HP-UX 10.20
 Informix Version: 7.23.UC3

I am not familiar with Informix.  I see some old posts that mention Informix
does not know how to deal with a tape library.  Our DBA staff recommends
against using OnBar.  I also see a tool called OnTape, but that expiration
does not work with Ontape.  I also see where some shops backup to disk, then
have ADSM backup the backup.  I will not have this much disk space to work
with.  These were OLD posts, so I am hoping there are some new options...  I
will have downtime available to backup this box.

Thanks,

--Debbie
