You can play with reuse delays and retention of DBBackup tapes to
"effectively" keep one offsite pool around longer. But you have to do a DR
to get the data back, so it's not exactly a "friendly" solution.
Find out what your customer want to accomplish, not what they want you to
do. When given an action to perform, I try to find out what need drives
the action they request, and then match it to the TSM function that handles
it for them.
