Abdullah,

this is the way TSM works.
Old versions of files are beeing expired leaving "holes" on tapes.
Look at A0007 maybe a week later, it will not be 100% full any more.
Once there are too many holes on a tape it will be reclaimd 
(the data left copied to another tape) so that it is fully 
free for new backups.

TSM does the job many other progrems require YOU to do,
but in order to operate it succesfully, you *must* 
understand it, you must read administrators manual.

regards
Juraj
