Here is the lazy man's method. Rename the current node in TSM to something else. Create a new node for TDP notes. When you have enough backups to cover your retention period under your new notes node, delete the old notes file spaces and node.

There are currently about 15 weeks worth of backups on this server, as we have moved the Notes backups to a new server TDP is no longer telling TSM when the backups can be removed. This means I have to keep the full 15 weeks on the old server until a new 15 week copy has been created on the new server, by looking at the node I can only see the DB and log backups. Can any tell we if there is a way of expiring the TDP information from the 4.1 TSM server as the backups build up on the new TSM server.
