Hi TSMers!

I have a quick question. Recently we were backing up a directory that had
millions of sub-dir's. I had excluded all files (using the basic exclude
command) but alas realised too late that it still sent the directories
themselves. As such we have used up space in our DB that did not need to be
used. I have now changed the exclude to an exclude.dir, but will expiration
eventually free up the space in the DB or is there something else I need to
do. I can see that the entire dir is indeed being skipped which is great as
it's sped up the backup time a great deal, but DB space is my new concern.

Thanks in advance for your help
