I see. If that's the order of your jobs, then it DOES look like small files
are going direct to tape.
Maybe your diskpool filled up during the night, and some clients had to go
direct to tape for that reason. (Not too likely since your disk pool is
only halffull this morning...)
Maybe compression is fooling you, and the "small" files really were 5GB
before they got compressed. I forget how TSM reports that...
Interesting question.

Yes, using dsmc not TDP.
During the nightly backups files larger than 5G are supposed to go direct to
tape, everything else to disk. In the morning there is a process to copy
files that went to disk, to offsite pool. Then a process that sends files
that went direct to tape, to offsite pool. Later in the afternoon a process
to migrate. It looks to me like there are files going direct to tape that
should be going to disk.
