Hi,

I am relatively new to TSM so this might seem a stupid question...
Our management requires us (for IP reasons) to have a copy of every file
that has ever been created in our company. Of course, only user files
(e.g. excel, word, ppt, etc) ; we do not have to include database
backups etc.
Now I could set RETONLY to NOLIMIT but this would mean a dramatic
increase of storage requirements. 
To limit the size of the storage pools I was wondering if there would be
any method to copy the files that have been deleted to tapes that we can
keep offsite. After which of course, those deleted files should
expire...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Tim
