Did you start with a full backup and then just cumulative after that. I cant see how to easily delete older full backups if only using the connector. Since they have date/time in the file names how does one get rid of older backups if you did a monthly full backup and regular cumulatives In between. Plus with the connector you cant easily see what was backed up.
If I bypass the connector and just do regular backups to folders I can easily delete older files and let management class parameters control expirations. And with this method seeing inactives and actives is normal. What does the connector benefit except negating the need for the netezza Backups to go first to disk and then via tsm to storage pools.

I'm not sure but I don't think the web client will see the files because the backup is done via the tsm API. Just create a domain for the netezza backup and point backups to the same strorage pool.
