The architectural limit is 500GB.  Practically, one should be a good bit 
smaller.  It really boils down to how long do you want a restore of the backed 
up DB to take?  Figure about 150% of the backup time for a restore.  Can you 
live with that?

Hi *,

Does anyone know what the maximum size database is for TSM 5.4 and TSM
5.5 ? We were told by IBM when we were at TSM 5.3 that 120Gb was the
limit and was wondering what the limit is for 5.4 and 5.5.

Currently running TSM 5.4.3.0 on AIX 5.3 TL 9.
