We use the Domino TDP's to backup our Lotus Notes servers. Backing up the Lotus Notes databases with the regular TSM Backup Client used too much of our resources. The architecture is such that even using incrementals, they were using up tapes faster than we could order them. Each Lotus Notes database averages well over 120 GB's, the reason we switched to the TDP's, which work specifically with the architecture of the Lotus Notes databases.
To backup many of our SQL databases though, the DB Administrator creates a flat file within the client server at a certain time each evening. TSM then incrementally backs up that flat file after it is created.

Yes, you can do incremental backups on SQL Backups.
Most places would do weekly full, and daily incrementals, with
triggered logs backups as they fill.

Folks,
We have been eating up a LOT of tapes doing Notes and SQL backups
(Oracle).
Does anyone have any pointers concerning tape management and these?
BTW....We have a "permanent" retention policy on our Notes backups
dictated
by Corporate.
Also, I was told that we cannot do incrementals on either Notes or SQL
backups.
Thanks!
