can do this, you can have multiple SLA's attached to a VM and have one SLA
do a backup every day and retain it for say a month and have another SLA
create a backup every year and retain it for 7 years.
With
I assume that the data stored in the SQL databases is the primary retention
target.
If that is the case, how about a flat file dump to a central storage, then use
another client to scoop that up monthly.
Use resourceutilization to give it several sessions, and back up to the VTL.

Thanks for the reply Richard
Backupsets apply only to BA client data. Theoretically exports are possible.
I've had issues with backupsets in the past and even if it were not possible
would be loath to go there again (e.g. backupset is essentially a restore so it
would take a drive to start,
Can you use backupsets or export nodes to real tape (no client impact.)
Or full restores to a dummy node and then archive those to real tape (once a
month), again no direct client impact.
Can the "monthlles" be spread over 30 days?
Richard
