Hello all,

   I am planning a TSM implementation ata customer who has another backup
solution already in place. They want to slowly make TSM take over all backups,
but they don4t want to suddenly change the work done by the production people,
who take care of all tape movements. The present backup solution works using
different retention times for the backed up files: the daily backups are kept
for 20 days; the saturday ("weekly") files are kept for 40 days; the monthly
backup is kept for 100 days, and there is a "year" backup that is kept for 5
years.

   The question is: I could make this using backups for the daily processes,
and to use archives for the other ones. But there are TDP4s involved
(SQLServer, Exchange and DB2) who always do backups, and if I use something
like different management classes, I would get a lot of rebinding problems.

   Would backupsets be the answer? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated


Thank you all
