Two options I can see:
1) Ask you IBM rep for sub-capacity licensing for TDP for DB
2) You can use:
-> oracle to dump DB some where and after that to backup this dump with
backup archive client ( I
-> MS SQL -> crate maintenance plan to backup DB on disk and again
backup this dump to TSM with backup-archive client

I personally will not recommend opt. 2) because there are some
disadvantages and would require additional storage space..

Hi.................

We are switching from IBM servers (x3650-Mx) to CISCO Blades (UCS B200-M3) in 
our VMware environment.  We are receiving pricing from our IBM VAR for the 
CISCO blades that very high.   CISCO blades have twice as many cores than the 
IBM servers.  Boss is very upset about the issue.

Does anyone have alternative to TSM clients and TSM TDP for Database which 
would interface with TSM servers and be less costly??

Your thoughts??
