Perhaps I misunderstood Guenther's need, but I interpreted the scenario
to be like this:
1. Files a, b, c are all created & backed up on day 1
2. File a gets deleted on day 5
3. File b gets deleted on day 25
4. File c gets deleted on day 49
They want a, b, c all to expire from TSM on day 50, regardless of when
they were deleted (which as far as I can see, can only be accomplished
by using archive, leading to 15GBx50day=750GB stgpool). Of course,
nowadays, 750GB is not that big a deal, so maybe this is an ok solution
for them.
Guenther - please correct as needed

Why won't these backup copygroup settings work?
VEREXISTS=NOLIMIT
VERDELETED=NOLIMIT
RETEXTRA=50
RETONLY=50

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
