It depends upon what you mean by "reasonable". I've got a customer that
sets their first level of storage pool "overflow" to 20GB, and a second
level of 200GB.

This is a situation where you appear to not have enough resource to
handle the load you're being asked to handle. A well-built TSM system
should have enough disk storage pool to handle a full two days of
backups. (After all, your library might be down for as long as 48 hours
waiting for parts.)

Disk is cheap(er) these days.
