Backup of Product Database

HI,
I know its scarey me asking this, but system is homegrown and I am just having fun, but at the same time dont want to have tooo much fun where the phrase "little knowledge is dangerous" perfectly fits my actions ;-).

I have a couple of packages that are failing to be removed...

# geninstall -u 1c93fb9264f49035b29032332414db74
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Filesets listed in this section failed pre-deinstall verification

The following products were selected for uninstallation, but they
are ISMP packaged products and cannot be uninstalled using the installp

products.

----------------------------------------
Name Level Pre-installation Failure/Warning
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1c93fb9264f49035b29032332 Failed pre-deinstallation check

I looked around and at fisrt glance it looks like Install shield is creating havoc and that installp is working in the covers..question rose after googling that if this is the case I'd need the �installp' libraries to see the scripts that are being invoked. (not my cup of tea)

but then somehow I answered my question.....since the actual error is

# installp -u vacpp.man.en_US 7.0.0.0
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Pre-deinstall Verification...
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Verifying selections...done
Verifying requisites...0503-214 installp: A lexical error occurred for 1c93fb9264f49035b29032332414db74 3.6.0.0
on line 1, column 11.
There is an illegal number: 07c.
Use local problem reporting procedures.

after which I looked around and scraped this command...but I want to do it gracefully...
Now my question....What is take backup of Product Database.....does it mean the ODM and the backup of SWVPD ? if yes how can i accomplish this, cos only then would I want to do something like this below

odmdelete -o product -q "lpp_name=<put name, returned by lslpp -l here>"

setup.types(5)						      Easy Software Products						    setup.types(5)

NAME

       setup.types - epm gui setup types file format.

DESCRIPTION

       The EPM setup program normally presents the user with a list of software products to install, which is called a "custom" software installa-
       tion.

       If a file called setup.types is present in the package directory, the user will instead be presented with a  list  of  installation  types.
       Each  type has an associated product list which determines the products that are installed by default. If a type has no products associated
       with it, then it is treated as a custom installation and the user is presented with a list of packages to choose from.

FILE FORMAT

       The setup.types file is an ASCII text file consisting of type and product lines. Comments can be inserted by starting a line with the pound
       sign  (#).  Each  installation type is defined by a line starting with the word TYPE. Products are defined by a line starting with the word
       INSTALL:

     TYPE Typical End-User Configuration
     INSTALL foo
     INSTALL foo-help
     TYPE Typical Developer Configuration
     INSTALL foo
     INSTALL foo-help
     INSTALL foo-devel
     INSTALL foo-examples
     TYPE Custom Configuration

       In the example above, three installation types are defined. Since the last type includes no products, the user will be presented  with  the
       full list of products to choose from.
