You should also have the DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS parameter set.
Enter Q DRMSTATUS to see your DRM parms...
Set DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS to the number of days you want to keep the
DBBACKUP tapes.

Then when you do a MOVE DRMEDIA, DRM will send the tapes offsite, and when
you do Q DRMEDIA * WHEREST=VAULTRETRIEV, DRM will show you the tapes that
are ready to come back from offsite, including expired DB BACKUP tapes.
