My experience with hugh files that exceed the backuppool is adjusting the
high and low thresholds to a high=85 and a low=70. So far the tape migration
will start when the 85% of the storage is used and the mount point will
remain until the 70% is meet. The default of 15 timeout for the tapes will
allow the backuppool to reach the 85% mark again, therefore sending the
information to tape again.
Knock on wood, but so far I have had no problems with large files.

Subject: Disk pool size vs large file
I have a 56GB disk pool with the next pool to tape. I have a user, DB2
Admin, that wants to back up a 125GB DB2 backup. What's the best way to
handle this one user? If he/she backs up the file will it crash the system
because it's bigger that the diskpool, or will it go right to tape?
