We don't do regular archives, but my experience with archives (and with
TSM in general) is that the software itself isn't limited by the size of
the data, but by the number of files. If you're backing up a single 2TB
file, you'll be limited by network bandwidth and storage performance. If
you're backing up tens of millions of files in that 2TB, you'll be
largely by your database performance.
