Have you considered backing up the db to disk instead of tape? I don't know
if it would be much faster but in theory it should be. 

Ours is currently 50 and takes 3 hours so we to will be in your shoes soon.
If you get any interesting optimizing backups of the db please post.

Thanks

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Database Backup


Our NetBackup database file system is over 100GB. Is their a faster way of
running database backup? WE can only run it once a week because we always
have
backups running. When we do the database backup it takes about 8 to 9 hours
to
complete after it does all the deletions of images etc.. WE are using NBU
3.4
running on Solaris 2.8.

Thanks

Brian
