We are now a good 6-7 months into this project. We have 2 RS/6000 servers
with several NOTES servers on each. Each RS/6000 has just under 1 Tb of
data. Our preproduction server is now backing up and logging with TDP. It
has been a long road for our NOTES team but I think it is well worth it. The
occupancy of each server in TSM will be decreased by half.
