Thanks Andy, you hit the bullseye. IC33316 is the exast problem with one tiny difference - the longest retention mgmtclass is explicitly defined by DIRMC option ,-) The APAR is for ITSM v5.1 only and I cannot find similar one for v4.2. Can you confirm in which patch it could be fixed for v4.2? Or at least point which APAR to report to support. I was unable to find it in any of v4.2.2.8 or above patches. Maybe we have to wait for maintenance 4.2.3. Upgrade to v5.1 is something I do not want to do right now. Customer is having very busy schedule implementing new systems, so backups are vital for the process. Upgrade to v4.2.3 will leave spare move (to 5.1) while migration to v5.1 will burn the bridges behind us. I thought this ought to be client-side problem - client decides which route to follow. IC33316 states it is server problem. Where am I wrong? Many thanks for your help.

This problem is fixed in patch level 5.1.1.5 (available now), and will also be available in PTF 4.2.3 (should be available in the not-too-distant future). Give 5.1.1.5 a shot and see how it goes.
