We back up 300GB of Notes mail databases on 3 AIX SP nodes (14??) in about 6
hours to a 3494 tape library with 3590 drives. The ADSM server runs on a 4th
SP node which is the standby node in a 4-way cluster (with the other 3
nodes).

Works OK. The production guys did a good job with the user in agrreing an
SLA. We do not do daily copies to an offsite pool. If a tape breaks the
users gets their mailbox from the day before - tough.

For offsite purposes we do a backup at the week end which is copied to an
offsite pool (seperate node & pool names etc from the dailies).

Hope this helps.
