I think you are mixing apples and oranges. I use TSM as my storage manager but in order for Sybase and TSM to play together, an XBSA shared library must be used. ADSM used to include this but they pulled the shared library out of their software distribution some time ago and started marketing Tivoli Data Protection products which basically provide the shared library function as does SQL BackTrack for Sybase. I use SQL BackTrack for Sybase as well as SQL BT for Informix. The API function is supplied by the TSM client which also requires the XBSA shared library to communicate with the Sybase and Informix backup clients.

I've tried to find info on the API but I'm having little luck. I know I can dump the databsae files to another file system and then backup form there but I'm constrained by network loads (i can't keep dumping 64GB of db files). Can anyone assure me that the Sybase API works or indeed has used it or even knows of its existence. Thanks in advance.
