We had the same problem on TSM 6.3.4 on Windows, never found out why. Stopped using archive overflow because of it. Once the DB backup is done, just delete the extra files.

But on all of them, we occasionally get a little bit of data overflowing into the Archive Overflow Log filesystem. I don't know why, because as far as I can tell the Archive Log filesystem has never been allowed to fill up. But anyway, it never empties out. Full database backups reliably free space in the Archive Log filesystem, but the Archive Overflow Log just gradually fills up. One of them is up to 20%, over a period of a year. I saw somewhere that it takes two full database backups, but there have been many dozens of full backups. Any idea how I can get the Archive Overflow Log to empty out?
