Hi Pierre,
Sorry I was not very clear the first time.
Since many people are familiar with the TSM Backup/Archive client,
I was trying to relate the policy management of an Exchange backup
with how the TSM Backup/Archive client handles "file-level"
policy management. With the TSM Backup/Archive, if you back up a file
with one management class, and then back it up again tomorrow with a
different management class, the TSM Server will "rebind" yesterday's
backup to the new management class. The same is true for Data Protection
for Exchange FULL type backups.
I hope this helps explain what I was was trying to say.
Thanks,
Del
