Dumb question, what version is the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS in?  I ask because
there is no output from "h CLEAN BACKUPGROUPS" on 4.1 or 5.1.5

Thank You!

My TSM server is at 4.2.3.0 and we want to upgrade to
5.1.x of TSM.  But we have over 50 million orphaned SYSTEM OBJECTS that we
have been trying to delete via the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS command.  We tried
to upgrade with the orphans and after 72 hours we backed out.  Now we are
tryng to delete the orphans, but the problem is that we are only cleaning up
10k-25k per night.  At this rate we will not be able to upgrade to 5.1.x for
at least 10-15 years.  Does anyone have any idea how I can get out of this
situation?  Can I delete the SYSTEM OBJECT filespaces all together and
gamble that I won't have to restore the registry that day?  Will deleting
the "good" system objects help with the orphans?

Thanks.
