Cheryl,
I am also in an Informix environment but my largest instance is just over
60 gigabytes... I am not certain what a "fragmented" database is. Could you
explain?

Thanks,

Subject:  Using TDP with Informix on a 1TB fragmented database


Our company has just converted to TSM from Veritas NetBackup. We have our
first TDP customers with Informix and Oracle to set up. These servers have
multiple database instances on the same server. One of the Informix
databases is 1TB and is fragmented. (The Oracle server, also has a 1TB
database.) They want to backup only specific fragments at a time, probably
around 300GB. We have a SAN and will attach them to the SAN in the near
future, but at first we are going to be using a small development database
on this server to test TDP.

Can any of you please give me your advice on what worked best for you when
setting up TDP? Thank you!!
