Tivoli framework includes the command - wbkupdb - which makes a backup in
the /var/spool/Tivoli/backups directory.  You could then tar them onto a
tape from there.

Ziyad,
Its been awhile, but I believe you can just "tar" the NetView databases up
on a UNIX system:

cd /usr/ov/databases/openview
tar cvf /my_tar_directory/ovwdb.tar .

I can't help you on the "Tivoli" database though.

Regards,

Gary Boyles

Hi there,
Can any body tell me if I can backup the Netview topology, and the tivoli
database onto a tape any other way besides a mksysb command?
