How many millions of files? A worst case would be 2000 bytes/file in the
DB when you upgrade to 6.2, which isn't so bad. For reference, we're
tracking around 280 million files in our TSM 6.1 server and it's only
~360GB.

Need to archive 50tb of data with millions of files, here is the caveat, tsm db 
at 220gb, planning on upgrading from 5.5 to 6.2 in the near future, but 
currently waiting for newer hardware, how would one accomplish this without 
causing too much db bloat? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
