  This paper is a follow-up to a recent article about the essential spectrum of
Toeplitz operators acting on the Bergman space over the unit ball. As mentioned
in the said article, some of the arguments can be carried over to the case of
bounded symmetric domains and some cannot. The aim of this paper is to close
the gaps to obtain comparable results for general bounded symmetric domains. In
particular, we show that a Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space $A^p_{\nu}$
is Fredholm if and only if all of its limit operators are invertible. Even more
generally, we show that this is in fact true for all band-dominated operators,
an algebra that contains the Toeplitz algebra. Moreover, we characterize
compactness and explain how the Berezin transform comes into play. In
particular, we show that a bounded linear operator is compact if and only if it
is band-dominated and its Berezin transform vanishes at the boundary. For $p =
2$ "band-dominated" can be replaced by "contained in the Toeplitz algebra".
