We have about 0.5 and about 1 TB in HSM, no problem. Until this year,
HSM never f***ed up, and even then I just had to restore one or two
directories of stub-files and I'm still unsure weather HSM or the aix
nfs server was at fault. "Migration requires backup" is a sensible thing
to use, as are fast (3590/stk9840/stk9940) tape drives and a very fast
library, mount and seek-times are the bottle-neck in performance...
