I'm not too sure about the whole cleanup backupgroups myself. I understand that Tivoli has re-done the way the database handles Windows SYSTEM OBJECTS. So if you don't delete them, then the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS, as I understand, cleans that up for you. By deleting the SYSTEM OBJECTS prior to upgrade, there would then be nothing to "CLEANUP", at the risk, of course, that you can't do a bare metal restore of your Win2K servers until after successful backups occur. That is how I understood it. But I agree, there is confusing and not-clear info out there. As for deleting system objects, someone said you could do a del fi * "SYSTEM OBJECT" but this didn't work for us, saying no such node as "*". (Though doing that with "query" worked fine.) So, we redirected the output of q fi * "SYSTEM OBJECT" to a file, then converted that file into a script, then fed that script into dsmadmc at the command line, and that started all of our deletion processes successfully. No longer have that script, but with some vi/grep/awk-ing, you should be able to figure it out. johnn
