TSM for VE Proxy Handle Multiple Retention Periods

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

An environment that requires multiple different retention settings retained on ones server (node replication is not in use, and won't be going forwards). TSM for VE is used to protect VMware. If a monthly policy is required a new proxy with a new domain needs to be created as a single proxy server can only backup to one environment. Then if a 'yearly' backup is required another additional proxy and domain is needed. Simply allowing the daily and monthlies to go into the yearly domain would mean a massive amount of data would be retained which wouldn't be needed.
