I have been thinking over this option for someone else. One option is to set up a separate tape pool (with copy pool if you want two copies), and set up a management class for it that expires data after x years. Only do a monthly backup of Exchange to this pool. And make the copypool version if that is in our requiremets.
Just a thought. ...
