You manage DB2 backups through the 'db2adutl' command, as well as setting
policies within the DB2 database.  I wrote a perl script that deletes the
old backups and cleans up the archive logs, so it can be run by the TSM
scheduler.

In the newer version, there seems to be a way to manage the archive logs
a bit better, but alas, we will on an older version for a while.
