The other thing to watch for, is the values in your ADSM copypool
definition.  Since the DB backup contains the timestamp, you will never get
multiple versions of the backup so if you want them to disappear right away,
make sure that your retain only and versions deleted parameters are set to
0.  (We have a mgmt class set up for the DB2 backups and logs).   If you
archive your logs to ADSM, then you will also have to use db2adutl to flag
them for deletion.

Peter logon to your aix system as user db2xxxx or user who is owner the db2
backups
and then run command :

db2adutl query full

you will show list of your db2backups

then run command

db2adutl delete full older than XX days.

your db2 backups will not expire until you dont run this command

All,
Does anybody know why wouldn't db2 backups expire, when, in theory, they
should be?
We have an AIX-SP environment, with TSM 4.1, server and clients. DB2 data is
backed up via the TSM-API. The copygroup criteria for this data is: versions
exists=1; versions deleted=1; retain extra versions=1, retain only
version=3.
DB2 backups have been occurring weekly since mid-November 2000, yet none of
the DB2 backup images have ever expired. We run inventory expiration daily.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
