I thought I heard that in the TSM 5.3 versions would be the true incremental
of some of the System Object components....but you need to find out what's
growing your DB.

Couple things....First search back as far as you need (or can) in the server
activity log for ANE4954I messages. This is the number of objects backed up.
Look for a node(s) that seem to have a very high number of objects being
backed up each night. Or a node that has increased recently.

Then look at the occupancy data to see which node(s) have a large number of
objects in TSM.
select node_name,sum(num_files) from occupancy group by node_name order by 2

See if anything sticks out..

If not, then each day after backups and expiration capture the occupancy
data for each node and plot it for trending.

I think that is correct...

But I have a TSM server that is 5.2.3.1 and the administrator is
complaining about DB growth.  At this point I am asusming W2K System
Object backups.

I don't think updating the client version will impact how the TSM server
will handle System Objects..

I thought the relief in System Object backups (that TSM will not back up
the files that haven't changed) was supposed to come with Win2K3 and XP,
not Win2K?   (But then, I'm easily confused...)

Just wondering if anyone in the group is seeing any relief or is the
impact about the same in relation to the TSM DB and W2K System Objects.

Running TSM server version 5.2.3.1 on AIX 5.2 Client version 5.2.0.3.
