I'd probably do this as backupsets in 5.4. They're easy to generate from the server, work from data already on the server, have their own retention times different from the incremental values, are file-level browsable in a ToC that lives in file space (not TSM DB-space) -- which means you could offload them to tape, or leave the ToC on a disk/file stgpool for quick access. Backupsets have worked well as a point in time archive on a few nodes of mine. Dave
