What a great time for this post/question!!!  Thanks for asking it!!


(2) TSM servers, 2 tape Libraries (3494 w/ 15 3590's drives / 2500 cells
and a 3584 w/ 6 LTO II drives / 250 cells)
800 nodes (AIX, Windows, Linux) Every flavor of DB or app you can imagine.
We backup 2-3TB a day.
Total stored in TSM is 90TB, combined database used is 80GB.

We invest around 4-8 hours a day on TSM "stuff".  TSM like everything else
is under staffed...we could be investing about 3 times the amount of
people resources on TSM that we currently do.
