** High Priority **

Hi,
We have DB2 database of size 530GB and it takes 3hrs time for online
backup with 4 tsm drives. When tried with same TSM/DB2 parameters and
drives for offline backup it taking 7hrs. I know it should take far less
time for offline backups compare to online.  I appreciate if any one can
share their ideas to improve offline backup window time.
Meanwhile I will search docs for anything I have to change.

thanks and regards
muthym
