Rodolfo,

You will need a separate node if you want the backups
to have different management classes.
Otherwise, when you make a new backup with a different
management class, it will rebind all of your previous
backups to the management class of the current backup.
This is nothing new...this is standard TSM policy management.

Thanks,

Del
