Mario,

The "x" just means that you cannot selectively "choose" a 
single database for backup. Backup can only be done at the Storage Group 
level.
Even if there is only one database in the storage group, you need to 
choose the entire storage group so the transaction logs for that
storage group are backed up as well. This is normal operation.

Did you try selecting the entire storage group for backup?

If you are still having problem, IBM support can help you get going, I am 
sure.

Thanks,

Del
