Along with what others have replied with, you can either use two different node names, or have the DBA run Archives (and have an archive management class on the server for the appropriate retention).
Two nodes is a little "harder," as you have to make sure you invoke the right node name, both on backups and restores. For the Archives, if you use the "filelist" option, you can make things very easy on the DBA, simplify the TSM client configuration, and easily segregate the data on the TSM Server itself.
