I can only speak to Sybase 11 since that is the book I am reading but the book actually makes the suggestion to speed up backups on large databases to split your database into multiple databases because you can backup each database independently. This also appears to be how they exert more control over distribution of IO. This presents serious problems with database consistency and referential integrity of course.

Also appeared that you are stuck with one block size, anyone know if this has changed?
