Backing up active databases using simple incremental backup, from outside
the database, is problematic because part of the database is on disk and
part is in memory, and perhaps elsewhere.  As a general rule, it's advisable
to back up databases using an API-based utility which participates in the
database environment to back it up from the inside, and thus get a
consistent and restorable image.  TSM provides Data Protection agents for
some databases, but for others you'll have to seek another source.
