No. The essence of the TSM product is data integrity and preservation,
as stored. You cannot meddle with the data from the standpoint of the
server. All data alteration decisions are done at the client end, where
the data is owned and where its purpose is defined.

Presuming that the data you are writing about is Backup type, you could
restore it to a special directory and from there perform an Archive,
then Expire the backup data if you wish.
