We are just under 2TB with SAP. We are sitting on a shark. We are using 10 3590E1A drives attached to 2 San Data Gateways attached to 2 2109 S16 switches with 4 fibre adapters on the host. Our tsm server and database server are the same server. We backup in around 7-8 hours for a full backup.

We are likely to have to backup such a beast in the near future and I'm wondering how we can protect so much data. We will in all likelihood be backing up the flashcopy (ie using TDP for ESS and TDP for Oracle) but how many SAN attached drives are needed? Can anyone offer any experiences or suggestions as to what sort of a configuration will accommodate such a volume of data? Thanks for any input, Eric Winters Sydney Australia
