Backup Options for DB2 UDB

Just wanted to take a poll of what people were using to backup DB2 UDB, specifically on Intel and RS6000. Also what kind of backup are you doing, cold or hot? Do you use the open-file-option and/or a database plug-in?

Here are the options I've looked at:
1) Veritas BackupExec - no DB2 plug in for Intel/RS6000
2) Computer Associates ArcServe - no DB2 plug in for Intel
3) IBM Tivoli Storage Manager- of course it does DB2

Thanks

We use Tivoli Storage manager and have been very happy.

We use archive logging because we need to do online backups and restore to a point in time. If you plan to do offline backups, you will need to stop jdedwards first because it keeps connections to the db.

I can say that Tivoli has been Excellent!
