Yes, you change ALL the copy group retentions to NOLIM, but ONLY in the EXCHANGE-FREEZE domain. And the only client in that domain is CLIENT-FREEZE, the original Exchange backup client. So those backups are locked down, but everything else (including the new registration of your Exchange client)

All new TS1120-E05 come with encryption capability out of the box. You can then use the Encryption Key Manager (EKM), which is a free download from IBM , or use TSM encryption. If you have multiple TSM server sharing a library, you will need to use EKM for central management of the keys. Mahes

Creating the "new" copypool on the LTO4 tapes is going to be a big hit at the beginning. Another thing I would do is to rename your existing LTO1/2 stgpools to something else, and then when you create the new LTO4 stgpool call them the same names. That way you don't have to change any of your sc
