Gary,

You really don't want to use backup's for long term retention, that is an
archive function.  But if you must, you set everything to NOLIMIT NOLIMIT
NOLIMIT NOLIMIT that way the data will hang around forever, but as I
stated, Archives are the way to go

Just received a request to have a few files stored in tsm essentially
forever.

I am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this with minimal
administrative overhead.

So far,
1. create a management class with an archive group set for 9999 days, then
archive the files.

2. create a management class and use backup, but I am unclear how to
accomplish permanent retention there?

Any ideas well be appreciated.
