Thanks Jacques and Bob! Bob - It was true that the backdelete was not set to yes. I did change that now but db2 does not recognize that old data. When there are deactivated backups that db2adutl does not seem to be able to delete.
Jacques - I can see hundreds of files out there for the specific node I am looking at but in db2adutl, there is only a subset of these files. I have opened up a call to support to see if they can give me any ideas on how to get rid of this data.

The select command I was using shows actual dates. Select node_name,backup_date from backups where node_name='xxxxxx' This tells me there are backups out there from almost a year ago when their scripts are designed to delete backups older than 45 days. When the DBA tried to delete them, he received the error message below.

We are running DB2 Ver8 & 9. I delete the backups with db2adutl. This only marks them as inactive in tsm. Tsm expire inventory will the delete them from tsm.

I have some issues with DB2 (v8 & v9) data. If I run a select statement to show backups on a particular node, it shows many more backups than what the DBA sees when they do a query through db2adutl. When the DBA tried to delete backups older than 45 days, he received the following message: The current delete transaction failed. You do not have sufficient authorization. Attempting to deactivate backup image(s) instead... Success. I do know that over time, they have upgraded DB2 from v8 to v9 but I am not sure that is the reason why I have orphaned data. Any ideas on how to determine what data is orphaned and how to get rid of it in DB2 would be greatly appreciated!
