It seems that many of us have our "rapid DB growth" war stories. Mine was a HPUX node whose sysadmin decided to NFS-mount a very large filesystem (tens of millions of files, which were already backed up to TSM on their native node) but neglected to add it to his node's TSM client exclude list.
He was mystified when his node's regular backups did not finish for a week running, until I saw the TSM database filling up rapidly, the scratch tape pool rapidly disappearing, and I found this happening. It took a CPU-week to delete the unwanted filespace and reclaim all those tapes.
