Backups : Legato/Solstice disk2disk performance

Hi dba's,
We have a requirement to backup a new 650GB 8.1.7 OPS database using solstice (aka Legato Networker). Disk to tape is out of the question, and we
are getting a loaner T3 array from Sun to test disk2disk performance. Parallelism seems to be the key, and winding the T3 up to 100MB/sec. Has anyone out there configured legato/solstice for d2d backups? How is it done - using staging or cloning? Would appreciate any input. And related : how do the big 24*7*365 shops manage large database backups? We have some very big client installations coming up, and Sun are trying to sell us very very expensive
tape drives (9840 silos, linear drives etc), saying its how the ecommerce companies do their backups. Im a big believer in d2d backup and restore, with relatively inexpensive tape silos chugging along during the day. The question is : how do YOU do it?
