Allen,
Thanks, I did notice that little "feature". For us, I hope it means we
simply have to increase our versioning by one for files under HSM
influence.
One question I have not been able to figure out is whether HSM & the
filesystem ever perform any sort of "reconciliation" - for example, when
a user finally decides to delete his illegal mp3 collection from the
corporate fileserver, how does the HSM archive receive that notice so it
can be reclaimed? Or are we going to have ghosts in the attic forever?
Kelly also had a good point about HSM becoming an easy-to-get-in but
hard-to-get-out type of product.
Unfortunately, it may be our only hope to extend the life of some
fileservers, given that we are not able to enforce any sort of user
quotas (don't even get me started).
Thanks,

Take a look back in the archives: the TSM product for windows which is
called 'HSM' has many, very important characteristics in which it
differs from what you may be thinking if you've ever dealt with a HSM
product in the past.
For very prominent example: When you've migrated your data, the stub
will get backed up, which will push the full version of the file to
inactive status, so it'll disappear from your backups.
My opinion is "Avoid, avoid, avoid."
