IBM BRMS

[Gary Feinstein <GFeinste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone use IBM's Backup Recovery Media Services to manage their
backups?  I use it, it works ok except for one problem.  I have 30 gig
of total DASD, utilizing 37% now.  My QUSRBRM library is taking up 12%
of my disk space.  I am saving object detail for approximately 2 weeks. 
I run BRM Maintenance every night.  Does 12% seem high?  What can I do
to keep this down?  What is a good policy for saving detail records?  I
currently keep about 4 weeks of backup tapes before reusing them.  Any
tips are appreciated.
