You could do this with the backupset process, but you'd have to make one for
each TSM client.

When I saw this, all I could think of was the song "The Way We Were"...
There's no way to go back in time to do this. The best you could do is to make
the backupsets now.
However, you need to ask yourself the question: why am I doing this? To what
end is this preservation being done? If you have legal needs for some data to
be kept for 10 years, pick the data and run a 10-year archive.
You may get warm fuzzies by preserving all your data for 10 years, but I'll
wager a good beer that is *all* you'll get.
