Dave,
I would have to say that you database is in the middle somewhere
although it is larger than most of mine.
I would highly recommend using the moirroring facility within TSM on you
DBs.
I don't know the answer to your other questions

Subject: General TSM Q's
Hello All,
We have recently deployed TSM at our site. Being new to TSM, I have a few
questions I was hoping someone may be able to help with.
I am running TSM 4.2.1.9 with a Compaq ESL9198DLX on W2K
1) Our TSM database has grown surprisingly fast. We tend to backup LOTS of
little tiny files and as a result our Database is currently around 30Gb. I
understand that the technical limit for the DB is somewhere around 5TB.
Should I be concerned running a 30GB database on NT using a single server?
Would this be considered a small, average or large TSM installation?
2) We've also found that our library is a little under-sized. (I regularly
find myself exporting tapes from our primary tape storage pool to make room
for scratch media). I would like to replace two or three of the DLT40/80
drives in the library with SDLT units. The ESL9198 hardware will support
Mixing DLT and SDLT drives and media. Does any know or have experience
setting up a library with two media types? Would TSM support this type of
environment?
Any help or information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
