I'm performing dumps on a Sun server with an Exabyte 8mm backup system.  
Dumping to an Exabyte takes a long time.  Consequently, performing dumps in 
single-user mode takes the server out of use for a long time.  Does anyone 
have experience with performing dumps in multi-user mode?

Thanks for your help.
