since nas (ndmp) backups only do full and differentials, your tapes will
become empty all by themselves. No need to worry about reclamation. NDMP
functionality is severely limitted, and hopefully now that IBM and
NetApp are working coler together we might see better NDMP support in TSM.

Full once a week, differentials on the other days. Keep your fulls for
at least 4 versions to retain about a month of history.
