You have to manually inactive the backups using the db2adutl delete command.

Read up on the db2adutl command, it has a lot of different things you can
do.

Subject: db2 backups not expiring

All,
Does anybody know why wouldn't db2 backups expire, when, in theory, they
should be?
We have an AIX-SP environment, with TSM 4.1, server and clients. DB2 data
is
backed up via the TSM-API. The copygroup criteria for this data is:
versions
exists=1; versions deleted=1; retain extra versions=1, retain only
version=3.
DB2 backups have been occurring weekly since mid-November 2000, yet none of
the DB2 backup images have ever expired. We run inventory expiration daily.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
