Add capability to extract data from existing TSM backup to a second node

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

A lerge number of customer require periodic long retention backups.    Currently the most space efficient way of achieveing this is by having a second node for the long term retention and running periodic ( e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly ) backup schedules against this node.

This introduces additional complexity as a second scheduler requires setup on the client end.    The alternateive of using the -asnode option is not viable as it requires dedicated schedules for each system.

I propose an addition capability to the TSM serves allowing data to be extracted internally ( similar to a backupset ) analysed and copied to another node, performing the incremental forever comparison so that the storage utilization is kept to a minimum.
