Look into performing an "image" backup... then it will just be a single TSM db entry BUT you only have an "all or nothing" restore possibility, you won't be able to just restore a single file out of the file system.

We want to archive this maybe twice a week for DR purposes and only keep one copy. The trouble being it blows out our database with all the objects and the schedule log blows out the files space where it is saved to. Does anyone know of anyway to backup/archive this amount of objects and not blow out both the DB and the filespace? Any help or comments would be appreciated.
