Shukrie. Be aware that turning collocation off will cause the partially empty tapes to be merged into as few as possible. This will happen at the first storage pool reclamation after collocation is turned off. Hence that number of free tapes required in the storage pool will increase.
Also to get around the files being scattered across numerous tapes you may wish to consider using a selective backup once a week for normal tsm backups. This will reduce the spread of files across tapes when you need to restore.
