>From the manpage of nsrim:

    When the savegrp(1m) command launches nsrim at  the  end  of
     its   task,   it   checks   the   timestamp   of   the  file
     /nsr/mm/nsrim.prv.  If the timestamp of this file is greater
     than  or  equal  to 23 hours, nsrim marks all save sets that
     are passed their browse and retention policy as  recyclable.
     If  save  sets  need  to  be  monitored for their browse and
     retention  policy   more   frequently   (for   example,   if
     savegrp(1m)  is  run  more  frequently than every 23 hours),
     nsrim -X should be set up as a cron(1m) entry, or should  be
     run manually.

My conclusion is that if you're fine with running it say about once a day, 
and run scheduled backups, you should be fine.
