Definetly run CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS first, it took us about 4 weeks running that 
job off and on between normal TSM operations until it finally had no more 
groups to clean. It reduced our database by about 30gb (all our W2K servers had 
system objects occupancy of about 60gb each).

This week we'll be upgrading to 5.2.3 hopefully but as we also did a server 
move as well, we did the upgrade in two stages. I've written up some detailed 
instructions on the steps I did, I can give them to you if interested.

Cheers,

It is time upgrade :-)

I currently have 4.2.1.3 on a windows 2K server.  Going to upgrade to a Win
2003 server with the latest server (5.3 I think)



Does anyone know of any upgrade problems with making that big of a jump?
Even 'it would have been smoother/easier if I had ...' stories?
