Thanks. I've gotten lots of good responses to this question. TSM support told me the order they suggest is something like:
Expire Reclaim Migrate Backup Storage Backup Database Set Migrate back to high Set Reclaim back to high Move DRM (This is with backups being run at night) Most of the order of events that I've seen (including mine) are not quite set up the way TSM support suggests. I wonder if there is an optimum way to do this or if it depends on the needs of your shop? By the way, I like your idea about Expiration running at night. I hadn't thought of that.
