For those of you with Servergraph, there is a standard report on missed
filespaces.  If you sort it by days since last backup, it often shows
you filespaces that missed even though the rest of the machine backed
up.  Those tend to be filespaces that have been removed from a system or
renamed.  We have cleaned up TB of wasted TSM space that way.

I you are concerned about storage space, then every now and then you
should
look at the "last backup" date/time on all your file spaces, find any
old
ones that can be discarded.
