I don't know why it persists.
I do know that you can look at the contents of the backup set and you can
restore an individual file from it. Look at the syntax on the restore
backupset command. Also, check the list archives as I asked a question
similar to this and I think one of the developers answered my question.
It's been awhile since then though.

Subject: backupsets
I have one tape I tested creating a backupset. I've found the following:
q libvol shows:
3494LIB U00866 Private BackupSet
q backupset
ANR2034E QUERY BACKUPSET: No match found using this criteria.
I wonder why this tape is still around when my test was only set to keep it
for 5 days, it's been 2 weeks now since I created it. Do these expire
automatically or do I need to do something else. Why did it ask how long to
keep it if it didn't expire the tape automatically?
My next question is how to get at the data in a backupset. When I created
this backupset I was able to see it, but not as I expected. I used the gui
and was expecting to be able to see the file/directory structure but could
not. Isn't it possible to do this, what did I do wrong? If not what good is
a backupset if I have to restore the whole thing when all I would probably
want is a few files. I thought a backupset would be better on the database
than an archive that's why the test.
Thanks all for the help,
