Here's a thought.
What if evey month you were to rename the filespaces of a node to a name
containing the month? e.g /data becomes /Feb02_data on 1 Feb.
Then, the next incremental would be a full on the /data filespace. Delete the
renamed filespace whenever the appropriate retention period has expired.
Then to get a true point in time snapshot facility we'd need a "clone
filespace" command...., or could you do that with export/import?

How about month-end exports? You can keep them for as long as you need,
but there is the extra step of re-importing them to be able to restore from
them.
When I'm confronted by someone trying to do a "traditional"
full-incremental-incremental scheme with TSM, explain how TSM works,
starting out with, "Unlike every other backup program you've ever used,
TSM..." (And I seem to have to use that speech a lot...)
