This should work, make sure you export all filespaces for the node.
Each TSM filespace contains data for one and only one Exchange storage
group.

If this is for Data Protection for Exchange, this can be done by
using a "COPY"-type backup and binding the "COPY"-type backups
to a different management class using the INCLUDE statement.
See the User's Guide for more information on that.

If this is for "file"-level backups... did you look into the
archive function to accomplish long term retention?
