What Remco is saying that the discussion is much more complicated than the simple strategy they are currently using. If they have so much data on tape now, keeping the same strategy will keep too much data on tape in the future too. So something must change. Keeping a month end copy doesn't really address the business requirements for archive. A more complete conversation that includes stake holders and compliance folks is required to narrow the data down.
And since you are now using TSM the typical "keep the month end" stuff just doesn't really play as TSM doesn't work like the old product did. Trying to implement that strategy with TSM is very costly in both time and resources and still doesn't yield anything truly useful to the business. It's a back to the drawing board of determining actual business requirements before trying to implement. It's there where additional expertise is useful. Kelly J.
