I apologize for the delay on issuing this summary.
Basically, all the recomendations from the list coincide in the idea of
using NSR, in combination with the CAM SCSI Media Changer and MRU (Media
Robot Utility).
Next is the mail from Bjarne, which I think better summarize the
possible solutions:
=======================================================
I know of two possibilities.
1. If the DB fits on two tapes, you can manually mount these. Then tell
the backup to run in parallel ("exec_parallel" in
"init<ORACLE_SID>.sap"). This will also speed up the backup.
2. The other way is to use NSR. I think NSR is able to handle the tape
library. If you choos NSR, you have to install the BACKINT interface.
BACKINT is the interface SAP uses to communicate with NSR. When using
NSR, the SAP system is no longer in control of the backup. This means
that you have to configure your tapes within the NSR system.
========================================================
I appreciate your help.
Best regards,
UA
