I'll second Daniel, and add that it's tremendously useful when you're moving clients out of a TSM server. I moved several large clients, deleted their old data, unloaded and reloaded the DB, and got back more (much more) than 50% of my space. Then I cleared out some DB volumes, moved them to my new infrastructure, and continued the process. - Allen S. Rout
