Rich,

Data Protection for SQL utilizes TSM policy management.
This means that you set up TSM Server management classes
according to your needs and assign the various DP/SQL backup types
to those management classes. The Data Protection for SQL
User's Guide shows you how to set that up.

Thanks,

Del
