Del has suggested in the past that instead of using different nodenames for the daily and monthly backups, to run the monthly backups using the COPY type of backup. "TDPEXCC BACKUP * COPY ..." and then in your dsm.opt file use an include for the COPY objects to a management class with the correct retentions.
You would have a script file for your daily backups, and then one for your monthly backups...or you could put logic in the script to decide when to run the FULL and when to run the COPY. Also, ARCHIVE is not a function of the TDP agent.
