I recommend that you read through the Backup/Archive Client manual appropriate
to your platform, which goes over the essentials of what you seek to do.  You
need a Management Class with a Copy Group specifying the 2 year retention.  The
TSM client does not have any file selection capabilities such as you seek: you
need to utilize an opsys utility (e.g., Unix 'find' command) to identify
candidate files and feed them to the Archive operation, utilizing the
-DELetefiles option to remove archived files from the file system.  The annual
job would best be initiated from an opsys scheduler (e.g., Unix cron).
