Hello all,

I'm afraid I already know the answer to this question, but since I'm a
novice with the TDP for Exchange product, here goes...

One of my clients wants to start using TDP for Exchange, and has asked for
an archiving capability for weekly, monthly, and yearly snapshots as well
as the nightly backups.

Knowing that backupsets can't be used with API clients (I feel a
requirement coming out of this), and TDP for Exchange uses the backup
copygroup with TSM policy controlling version expiration, I'm assuming that
I will have to create multiple nodes and use different management classes :-(.

Has anyone else had to implement this?  Is there perhaps a better way to
snapshot without using the TDP agent?

Thanks for the help.
