Christian,

This sounds like an excellent use for backupsets, or else possibly periodic 
exports.

Other sites have a second instance of TSM that is used for periodic large 
backups and long-term retention requirements.

I generally discourage archives for large amounts of data, due to the DB 
entries that are created, as well as the amount of time required to create 
those archives.  The only sites that I have with "out of control" database 
growth are attempting to do what you describe.
