There is TDP for IBM ESS for R/3 product already on sale. But it is
available only for AIX. Will it be available for Windows is different
question.
500 GB is just little over 400 GB (lowest available for ordering capacity
of ESS). So in ESS terms is not so large. If the DB will grow further you
can still consider migration to AIX.

Subject:        SAP R/3 on a SAN

Good Day

I have a customer with a Large SAP R/3 Environment running on Windows NT in
excess of 500GB

They have an existing TSM environment with LTO 3584 and are using the TDP
for SAP agent

The customer is looking to buy a SAN and is interested in reducing the
backup window.

My Questions are

Is anyone doing some type of SAN based backup of SAP R/3 Databases?

Can scripts be written to utilise flash/snap copy software on a SAN
subsystem?

Is there and Road Map from Tivoli to create a TDP for SAP R/3 on ESS?
