Take a look back in the archives: the TSM product for windows which is
called 'HSM' has many, very important characteristics in which it
differs from what you may be thinking if you've ever dealt with a HSM
product in the past.

For very prominent example: When you've migrated your data, the stub
will get backed up, which will push the full version of the file to
inactive status, so it'll disappear from your backups.

My opinion is "Avoid, avoid, avoid."
