Thanks Richard-- I was hoping it wasn't one of THOSE select statements-- I started
tsm: TSM_HQ_2>select deactivate_date, filespace_name, type, ll_name, hl_name,dea ctivate_date, class_name, state, backup_date,node_name from backups where NODE_N AME='GHDATA01DISKGROUP2' order by BACKUP_DATE before I asked the list the question. This is on a clustered, SAN, Windows 2000 server with way more than a million objects & about 800G of data on it. I am just hoping I don't crash the TSM server before the select finishes!! Perhaps I should have only include the HL_name for the filespace I was interested in......

Lisa - Do a Select on the Backups table, where the DEACTIVATE_DATE tells the story. (See DEACTIVATE_DATE in http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts) Richard Sims
