If you do a Q OCC it says that the backups are of type BKUP & the archives are
of type ARCH.

Let me start by saying I know even less about DB2 -- we're using Oracle
-- but the SAP 'backups' created using BACKINT and BRBACKUP are actually
ADSM 'archives'. Could you be running under an *archive* management
ADSM 'archives'. Could you be running under an *archive* management
class with the retention set 'way up there? Like the default of 365
days?

Just a thought -
