What about just performing an image backup, or image in portions? Almost
no impact on the TSM db, but no file level restore without restoring the
image.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Archiving 50tb data with millions of files

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
