A complex area...  Database audits should not be initiated by
customers: a customer should open a problem report with TSM Support,
who will then direct efforts to try to correct the problem, with
minimized disruption.  An unqualified Audit can indeed take a very
long time; but Support knows of targeted audits and how to best
utilize them.  And some auditing can be performed with the TSM server
online.  The time to conduct a full-blown database recovery, in any
form, is indeed a consideration in deciding how large to allow the
TSM db to get, as a worst-case decision point.
