Hi Richard,

Is there a way to backup the server and keep all data for 7 years?  That
is the main goal of this.  They need their servers backed up monthly and
they wanted a full backup for legal purposes.  I'm open to any
suggestions.  I just need something that works and keeps the files for 7
years.

Thanks again!

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.
