Debbie,

     We also have a need for two different retention policies,  both short
term(normal backup)
and long term (disaster recovery and special data retention requirements).
This is implemented by using
a different nodename for the long term backups. We added an additional
SERVERNAME stanza in our options
file that specifies the different NODENAME,  then we start up another
scheduler with the -SERVERNAME= option.
The new NODENAME belongs to a management class with the desire retention
policy.
