You could also use NetBackups Snap Mirror to tape. You would need a NetApp

The Pros
It uses snapmirror and sends the data off to tape. It is a RAW volume backup

It can be fully configured in NetBackup

The product is easy to implement and easy to do the initial configurations.
This was actually one of the biggest selling points for us. Other products we

Aptare has an agent that sits on each NetBackup master server. It receives
input whenever a job completes and immediately updates the Aptare database.
For running jobs it runs a bpdbjobs command on a regular basis (This is
tunable). I believe we have ours set to every 5 minutes. So

You could also use an oracle policy and create a script on the client
that runs through the policy. You would add the script/command info to

Without analyzing output for buffer waits from your bptm log - I have
found that more buffers generally works better than bigger buffers. Try
increasing the number of buffers and decrease the size a little.
Perhaps

NUM=64
Or
SIZE=131072
NUM=32

DSSU sizing is really important. If the Disk runs out then you start
getting status 84's and jobs fail. This seems reasonable except that
NBU does not free up the space for the failed jobs until the jobs are
restarted. If the job is a large one then you could get several more
backup failures
