Kolbeinn,

Yes, I've done it...but I can't say that I recommend using the "backup"
functionality of TSM when operating in this manner.

Normally what I'd do for a small site with a single drive and no robotics
is stick just to archives.  Unfortunately, with a single drive, doing
reclamation is a serious nuisance.

You can, if you are really determined to run backups, do single drive
reclamations using a disk storage pool...but again, I don't recommend it.

I do have customers that are using single drives and just do archives, and
are getting along fine in that fashion.

My $.02
