We only backup servers and leave the individual workstations/pc's
alone. If someone wants a backup of their data, they have to move it
to a server. Otherwise, they're responsible for their own stuff. Our
data base is 1.8TB (83% full). I don't know how efficient (or
inefficient) the DB organization is but I know how you feel about the
growth. The other suggestion may to be to scrutinize your
include/exclude options.

I'm curious to hear from others that have large ADSM
installations (multi-GB ADSM databases). I'm getting a little
concerned at the rate at which our database is growing. It is
currently ~14GB, and it has grown by 5GB in just under two
months. We have had a lot of activity, and we are in the
unfortunate position of storing a great many very small files--it
seems such a shame to spend 1K of database space for a 40 byte
file, especially when we've got thousands of 40 byte files.
I wonder if anybody else with a large installation might share
there experiences/configurations.
