It should.... but its an and + and story. And you have to get control of you
back-up data (lowering # versions and #days) and still meet long term data
storage requirments.

So, if for some reason, you have to have day/month/year requirments than I
would take a look at:
- Storing daily back-ups as back-ups (incr. forever);
- Monthly as archives bound to a 12 months retention policy;
- Yearly as archives bound to a 10 year retention policy.

Something like above.

Regard,

Karel

Doesn't the archive option insert an entry into the TSM catalog for each
file?

And use the archive option to do long term data management (= not the same
as "oh lets archive everything once a month")..

The obvious solution is to use TSM's "incremental forever" philosophy and
not do unnecessary full backups.
