Hmm, that doesn't work as I expect: # dsmc query archive -des="pint-2004*" -subdir=yes /oracle/app/oracle/admin/pint/arch/ IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface Client Version 5, Release 3, Level 0.0 Client date/time: 03/23/05 20:11:03 (c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s) 1990, 2004.

This doesn't seem to apply, since the archiving was done under 5.2 (now on server 5.3.0.2 and AIX client 5.3.0.0). The server doesn't recognize the commands CLEAN ARCHDIR and friends. > And, welcome to the more powerful world of CLI operations. :-) Thanks, but I'm already a CLI user, and TSM is no exception: when upgrading to 5.3, I didn't even *try* to bother installing the ISC. :-) -- Jurjen Oskam
