Remember verexists and verdel also work in days.

Thank's everyone for your reply, it help me a lot.

Wanda hit exactly the sensitive spot. The organisation don't want to spend a 
lot of time and money to look after many user type, different need in data 
protection. And, I know very well if, I ask the majority of Recerche kind of 
users, what they want, it could mean opening the pandora box. It could also 
mean to adapt the electronic data to the paper conservation rules ask by 
ressource department.

That said, I like what Gary wrote. One new node name for short retention and 
keep original node name for long term. I don't think I will want to use the TSM 
archive. I use that option when I can remove the original file from disk. I 
think it will use less space if we do a monthly incremental with verexists=12, 
verdel=12, retextra=362 and retonly=362 (or more depending of exceptional 
client request)
