yes............are you sure you need to archive? It sounds like you may not be
familiar with TSM concepts and perhaps you simply need a specific number of VERSIONS
on your backups.

NO....
if you archive filea on moday of each week into a archive copy pool with a
retention on 365, at the end of the year you would have 52 versions of the
file and as you continued to archive each week, one would expire and one
would be added, but you would always have 52.
And could i check them in for restore purposes later on.. would i encounter
any problems?
Thanks

Hi:
Overall it seems you want to archive a set of files on a daily basis and
then store them offsite. I assume you want to archive rather than simply
backup because you want to retain each version of the file for a long
period of time.
How you would go about it depends on your situation. For example, if you
know you want all archived files from all clients to be retained for five
years, then you would have a single copygroup archive definition defined
for the default management class and the destination going to a specific
storage pool to isolate the archives from the backups. Then you would
checkout the newly created volumes in that (archive) storage pool.
