Hi All

I have a customer with a small TSM Setup on windows , DB is only 3GB.  TSM
is 5.3.4

Last August the legal eagles decreed that all expiration was to stop, and
my predecessors did this.  We are now at breaking point with a tape library
that is about to burst, and finally someone (me) decided to do something
about it.

The majority of the data is exchange backups,  with a twice a week full,
four times a day incremental backup strategy.  Legal has finally decided
that

We need to keep all backups from the earliest we have to end of August.
>From end of August to mid Feb we can delete all incrementals and all full
backups except the last one of every month.

Now, if I had space I would rename the node  move it all to its new backup
