Yes, this is a major shortcoming of TSM, especially in today's litigious business climate: the fact that data retention in TSM is tied to Management Class/Copy Group, and is the same throughout the storage hierarchy and across storage pool backups. The only way around it is to perform additional "special" backups and/or data movement within the server.

Dream wish: set Version Data Exists to 20 for vtlpool and to 2 for copypool. No way to accomplish that (there isn't a Santa, after all)? TIA Orin Rehorst
