Hi Incremental = Minimizes your backup window, as only changed files are moved. However, you could activate subfile backup, which means that only the changed part of the file is backed up. Incremental works best with smaller files, as large files requires that the complete file is backed up.

Collocation has nothing to do with it. It's the nature of TSM and the VTS that causes 'problems.' TSM likes to use all the space on a tape. TSM keeps writing to a tape until it hits end-of-volume (EOV), then asks for another tape with space on it or a scratch tape. In a VTS, when you ask for a
