Paul, No. If you want to create backups that are kept for longer term than your normal Data Protection for SQL backups, you could create a separate nodename, for example, SQLSRV10_ARCH, and back up using that node once a week or once a month, (or whatever your needs are) and make sure to bind those backups to a management class that has the long term settings that meet your requirements.
