Another one that I've often had is where the Windows admins don't trust TSM (
for no good reason that I can see)
So, in before a change they copy the entire directory tree to another place,
then run their update process.
This results in one new whole copy of everything, plus massive changes.
Its human nature and you can't change it, so you've got to accept it.

A good one that gets us frequently is global ACL changes on NT servers
with
a few million files. Forces a full backup, and adds quite a few million
objects to the TSM DB.
