Ok, 350GB tsm db backing up in 1 hour? How did you get it that fast?

lots of very fast disk, very wide striping? And I guess using stk
t10kb drives of disk to store the backups, since those are the only
two I know that can go this fast....

Expiration takes about 1 hour.  DB Backup takes about 1 hour 15
minutes.

Thanks,

I have a TSM server currently running version 5.3.5 on Windows 2003
that we plan to upgrade soon.
The problem I have is our database has grown to 350 GB.
The question I have is will version 6.1 of TSM be better capable of
maintaining a database this size and much larger or should I break it
apart?
I would rather keep everything together so we can make better use of
de-duplication that may be coming out with version 6.
Thanks,
