How do you get the data into the new domain?
I didn't think you could move a node between domains.

Do you setup new mgt classes with just the RetainLast policy and
associate the node, in the new domain, to that mgt class?
(same with the archive data . . . needing a policy for it that's
the same as in the origional domain).

We have a domain called DISCO (short for Disconnected) where we move all
the "retired" systems.

We consider the node to have been deleted, so we keep the backup data for
the RetainLast number of days (from the copygroup settings).  Archive data
is kept until expiration deletes it.  We also change the node name, using
the data of "retirement" in the new name.  That forces the SysAdmins to
have to contact us to do a restore, but then we have "passwordaccess
generate" so they'd need a password reset anyway.
