Gerald,

You are remembering this correctly.

All objects sent to the TSM backup storage pool by the
SQL Application Client are given a unique name so they
are never expired by the TSM server. The SQL Application Client
provides a delete function to remove unwanted backup objects
from the TSM server. However, the VERDeleted parameter of
the Backup Copy Group should be set to 0 (zero).
When the SQL Application Client marks a backup object
inactive, that object is deleted from the TSM server
the next time expiration processing occurs.
A backup object is marked inactive when you delete it
through the SQL Application Client interface.

The above text was taken from the version 1
TDP for SQL Installation and User's Guide.

A copy of the User's Guide should be in the
(base-dir)\MSSQL\HTM directory.  It is called "ab5msmst.htm".
If it is not there, you may have chosen not to
install it... and in this case you can get it from
your original CD.
It is covered in Chapter 3 under a section titled:
"TSM Policy Requirements and Recommendations".

Thanks,

Del
