Well, well.. I totally read my book the wrong way. I will go recalculate.
Thanks for pointing out this huge error on my part. Now I have to go
figure out where the rest of my database utilization is going, too.

I believe the rule of thumb historically given in TSM documentation
is 600 bytes per object, not 600 kilobytes. I have a single client
with 4.8 million backup files in one of its file systems, and several
others with substantial fractions of that number. I have offsite copy
pools for all backups. All of this fits in a ten gigabyte database.
