The db2 node running the scripts needs to have backupdel=yes authority I believe. That is the way our oracle, sql, and db2 TDP nodes are set up, since the recovery programs actually manage the data retention, not the TSM server policies.. update node <nodename> backupdel=yes Should fix you up. hth, bob
