One of my customers runs SAP on POWER.

We will be doing an OS upgrade on one of those partitions,(not replicated)
and we found out the save process to a single LTO4 fibre tape was 18 hours.
Ouch.

We have tape library with multiple drive sleds in it, so my question is; In
a SAP environment does doing saves to parallel tape devices help or hurt the
performance of the save?
