It is different from DBBackup - there are specific load/unload abilities in TSM. The process results in the DB being re-orged. We recently went through the process and approximatley halved the size of our 120GB DB, the gain is fairly short lived though. The re-org was around 8 weeks ago and the DB is back up to 80% of its original size.

I've worked with one that was almost twice that size. You can unload and load the database or perhaps do an audit on it. There's an entire section called utilities in the Admin Reference. Be forewarned that an audit could take days if not weeks...!!! --- Mario Di Pede <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > I have a TSM DB of 30 Gb - there are a utilities for > cleaning its????? > > thank's all > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
