We have our important DB2 databases being backed up to local DASD then TSM backs up the flat files with the required management class for database retention. This alleviated problems we were seeing with the db2 backups being interrupted and causing an "out-of-sync" condition, which only a restart of the application could fix. This also enables us (TSM) to control the expiration of the database files instead of relying on the DBA to expire them. This has decreased our storage requirements on some of these servers to a quarter of what they were using.

Check with your DB2 admin.
