I need to reduce my outage for backups.  I've been looking at the Save
While Active as an option.  Is there any 'gotcha's' that anyone is aware
of.  My understanding is it will lock the files until the point of
commitment and then dump to tape.  Any changes that are made are then
applied to the different files.  What is the impact on restores?  How about
performance?  Disk space?   I appreciate any information anyone can
provide.

Thanks for the help!
