Tom,
You are right. Most of the cases database will be in GBs.

Please
respond to
"ADSM: Dist
Stor Manager"
Restore to a different directory is not a good idea when the database is
600
GB. Unless you hav LOTS of excess disk.
If your SAP configuration is valid, you'll have a technical sandbox. Use
it.
Learn how brrestore and brbackup REALLY work. Document your procedures, and
FOLLOW them.
The down side to using sapdba is the requirement for interaction, along
with
SAP's continuous changing of the sub-menus.
