I don't know but I'd guess the determining factor would be number of nodes backing up. We have between 400 -500 nodes backing up. They back up between 3-5 TB a night. My v6 db is about 140 GB (used).

How large a DB? How many clients? How much backed up nightly? At least give something in the ballpark so TSM admins can make an educated decision if they need to consider this problem upfront. Putting in a large server and then crossing your fingers that you don't reach the limit isn't really a good customer support strategy.
