I forget the exact details, I think there is an extra charge.

Hi, Bill - The web page is

My reading of it is that it principally just guarantees that the data
won't be deleteable from TSM storage until it expires per retention
policies - but I don't perceive any capability for freezing data, per
se.
At expiration time, the data goes away, as usual.
