To expound on Richard's admonitions about the size of the archive,
consider a slight modification:

 objects="c:\archive7yr\,d:\archive7yr\"

Have your users place files they want archived into that directory with
the knowledge that you back it up on a monthly basis.  Then delete the
contents of the directory.

I believe that should be:
  options="-archmc=arc2555 -subdir=yes" objects="c:\* d:\*"

Be prepared for a great increase in your TSM server space utilization
every month, as Archive is unconditional, and so will result in the same
old data being archived again and again.  Also, unless you have the
right Excludes prepared, you will be archiving everything on the drives,
which seemingly will include a lot of system files which will be
worthless space-consumers in the archive storage pool and database.
