Hi Timo,
Instead of keeping your extra version for 365 days, have a look at the
Backupsets for the end-of-month-full backup.

Subject: Large TSM database due to no. of files and versions
Dear all,
We have the following problem:
We are backing up some large Novell servers (more than 1 million files per
Server). The users want to be able to restore every version of a file 30
days back and every version of a file at the end of a month 12 months back.
In order to meet these requirements at least partly we set the backup
management class as follows:
Versions Data Exists: 10
Versions Data Deleted: 5
Retain Extra Versions: 366
Retain Only Version: 366
Because of these settings, the TSM database grew to 15 GB in the last 6
months and is growing fast even further. Restore performance is bad for
these servers as well.
Is there a possibility / idea to get over this apart from using archives?
Is
it possible to create archives (not backupsets) from existing data on the
TSM server?
Any idea is welcome!
