I strongly encourage you to read the TSM Administrator's Guide from cover
to cover, as it provides a pretty thorough overview of what TSM can do,
and how to do it, including information how TSM policy management works.
Yes, it's a pretty big book, but should be considered essential reading
for TSM administrators.
My two cents. :-)

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
