SAN for sure would help. We made a server for customer to backup 600+ GB Oracle DB with TSM client compression for 5 hours over Gigabit Ethernet. SAN-attached LTO can be even better but you have to use tape drive compression, not TSM client in such case.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Backup of 300 GB Data within 12 Hours Hi, what is your opinion about backing up or restoring 300GB data with TSM within 12 hours from one client? Possible or not? Do I have to use a SAN that I get acceptable transfer rates? If there is anybody out there who backs up such a big amount of data: How is your "TSM"-area constructed?
