Gerald, Exchange version 1 works like SQL version 1, in that respect. All objects inserted into the TSM backup storage pool by the Exchange Application Client are given a unique name so they are never expired by the TSM server. The Exchange Application Client provides a delete function to remove unwanted backup objects from the TSM server. However, for the function to work, the VERDELETED parameter of the Backup Copy Group should be set to 0 (zero). Then, when the Exchange Application Client marks a backup object inactive, that object is deleted from the TSM server the next time expiration processing occurs. A backup object is marked inactive when you delete it through the Exchange Application Client interface. The above text was taken from the version 1 TDP for Exchange Installation and User's Guide.
