Hi all, I need advice. I must archive 80 billion small files, but that is not possible, as I see it. since it will fill in the TSM's Database about 73 Tb. The filespace is mounted on a Linux server. Is there a way to pack/zip the files, so it's a smaller number of files. anybody who has tried this ??
