I have something of a similar requirement.. 6 months of an onsite retained archive and then a 7 year archive offsite. I have to do 2 seperate backups in order to accomplish what you are asking hence the archive. I believe I spoke to TSM tech support on this one and they found that this was the best way for me to accomplish my goals.

Managements would like to make 2 copies of files to go offsite to iron mountain. One copy would be sent off daily and we would like It to be returned in 14 days with a retention of 14 days. The other copy will be sent off weekly and have a retention of 1 year. The only thing I can think of So far is when a daily offsite tape is returned from iron mountain, I could do a discard data to free up that tape, but I would like a better way. steve -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Harris Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 5:36 PM To: ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu Subject: Re: Creating a copy storage pool with a different retention time Why do you want to do this? We may be able to come up with a different way to satisfy your requirement. Steve >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/01/2005 2:16:05 >>> Currently I have my policy set to retain file backups for 1 year. First I do my backups to my disk storage pools, I then have 2 copy pools, I copy the data to a non-collocated copy pool I send off site for 1 year, and then make a second copy which I keep onsite as a spare copy of my onsite-pool that gets migrated from the disk pool. What I would like to do is create another copy storage pool with a different retention, just 14 days. How would I do this, or the better question is is possible to do?? ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
