TDMS functionality question - Time slice scenario

Dear Experts,

I like to ask few questions on TDMS functionality related to Time slice scenario.

1. Does TDMS time-based slice run include attachments? We have lot of attachment in DMS_CONT1_CD1 table and SOFFCONT1 table. Does attachment data will be trasferred to  Receiver system based on time slice scenario?
2. What tables/data is excluded in TDMS time-base slice scenario run?
3. Can I use existing PRD System to run tim-base slice run to create receive system?
4. How much (estimate/rough/approx.) time does a typical TDMS time based slice run takes for 12 months of data from source/Sender system size 2.5 TB?

Please advice.

regards

Asad
