Hello fellow TSM'rs, I have been tasked with the following:
TSM Verion 6, Exchange 2010
Our current retention policies for Exchange is no limit (we keep everything for ever). Our DB is growing at increased rates. Legal says we may be able to change our retention policies if we can do the following:
If needed "freeze" the data backed up for a specific mailbox.
The question is how to do this without affecting all the DB on the Exchange server. I know we can send a specific DB to a different management class but that would still affect multiple mailboxes.
My suggestion is to have another Exchange server with it's own management class (no limit retention) and have the Exchange folks move or copy the mailbox to the new server/management class. But another question is what happens to the data already backed up? How do we keep that data from expiring?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
