In a prior incarnation I worked at a site
that did backups of Sybase on raw devices. Rather than backup the raw devices
we used SQL Backtrack software to do the backups. Not sure if it is still
available but I believe it (like RMAN) can be run with the DB on line. To have
a good point in time backup of raw devices you’d need to stop the DB
completely. (You could do that by using BCVs of the DB then doing your backup
from the BCVs if on EMC.)

Raw FS backup : Sybase IQ /////
The raw backup backups the full device so
it would be the entire 5TB.
