I know I asked this question before, but I'm in somewhat of a quandary 
so I'll ask it again.

We have recently become a 24 by 7 shop with an ODBC listener that 
runs 24 x 7 servicing a client/server application with the HP3000 
as the data base server.  We also run Image logging, which is 
causing a problem for us in our search for a zero-down-time, 
online backup utility.

So far, we have only looked seriously at Orbit's backup utility, 
which refuses to work for us.  Orbit has been, shall we say, 
less than helpful.  The first time we tried their product and 
it wouldn't work, they told me we needed to be on the latest 
release of Image/SQL, but they couldn't tell me which version 
of Image/SQL supported the DBQUIESCE function.  After talking 
to this list (and HP) we found out the Image/SQL version we 
had would support DBQUIESCE.  Then they advised me that we 
needed to be on the latest PowerPatch, so after I installed 
PP4 over the weekend, we tried their product again and it still 
doesn't work.  Now they are just ignoring me.

So, what other products are there?  I know of the following:

TurboStore from HP (I wonder how I could get a demo of it?)

RoadRunner from ? (How do I get in touch with whoever sells 
it?  Does it support unattended, ZDT, online backup of Image 
DB's with logging running?)

Any others?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.  <plugs> are welcome.
