Hi,
I have a standard policy domain setup to retain backups for 30-60 days.
I will be setting up a new policy domain to retain backups for 5 days.
At present a client is using the 30 day retention policy to retain

It sounds like you may be slightly misunderstanding the
policy-domain-management class structure to policy domains in TSM. You
can use 2 management classes and one include/exclude list with 'include
(filespec) (classname)' statements to achieve what you describe.
To do what you need, I would;
If the LOCATION isn't set then it is NULL.
So your select should look like:
