Bill,

main portion of the R/3 data is within the RDBMS (be it DB2, Oracle or
other) but not *all*! You can perform online backup of the DB2 database
but it will be out of sync with R/3 activity and other data. The result -
you may get an inconsistent backup, restore will be down an unsupported
way (and you will be on your own), etc. Without ITSM for ERP (former TDP
for R/3) you will not be able to use R/3 tools.

Can somebody explain me why use TDP for R/3 to backup
SAP DB2 database while you can backup DB2
offline/online directly to TSM?
What are the binifits?

Thanks a lot.

Bill
