Tae,

First... one correction:

Data Protection for Domino uses backup storage pools
for ALL backups, both databases and transaction logs.
It does not use "archive" pools for anything.

One way that customers have solved the problem that
you describe is by having a different NODENAME for your
once a month backups. The NODENAMEs have different policy
settings to meet your requirements.
For example, on Windows, you could have different options files:

  dsmweekly.opt
     NODENAME  DOMSERV1
     INCLUDE * DOM_WEEKLY

  dsmmonthly.opt
   NODENAME  DOMSERV1_MONTHLY
   INCLUDE * DOM_MONTHLY

The policies for DOM_WEEKLY and DOM_MONTHLY could be set to
retain the backup for as long as you want.
I hope this gets you started.

Thanks,

Del
