I would say go as low as you can without impacting other processes. Why waste tape I always say <G>.
65% is not bad. I run at 50%. The trick I have found is to get to a level where the percentage is sustainable. If you can't get there, and tapes are becoming an issue, either get more tapes or drives. Reclamation sure can run a while on todays large tapes.....<wish> I wonder when multiple reclaims can be run for a single pool at once like migration or backup </wish> Also, if you are not getting enough tapes back, make sure expiration is running to completion regularly.
