You manage DB2 backups through the 'db2adutl' command, as well as setting policies within the DB2 database. I wrote a perl script that deletes the old backups and cleans up the archive logs, so it can be run by the TSM scheduler. In the newer version, there seems to be a way to manage the archive logs a bit better, but alas, we will on an older version for a while. hth, bob
