Does HyperBac for SAP support backups direct to tape?
Not at present. Disk based backups provide SAP basis administrators and Oracle DBA’s with fast, reliable recovery online points. HyperBac’s compression is superior to the hardware compression which is common on many tape devices, so a disk to tape backup strategy will generally yield a 50% reduction in tape storage costs as well as a 75-90% reduction in DASD, NAS or SAN requirements.
