Mark, Yes, that goes for all of the TDPs. (Anything that uses the TSM API.) For Exchange, you could use the "COPY" type backup and bind the COPY type backup objects to a different management class with your required policies. ... or ... Many customers create a second TSM NODENAME and run a backup to that nodename every so often with different policies to retain the backups for extended periods.
