Only a question in case of event :

I never did it, but with the following command :
adsm> delete volhist todate=02/13/1998 type=dbb
and mistyping the year 1998 to 1999, all my DB-Tapes are gone,
if I answer the (pseudo-)question >Do you wish to proceed ?< with yes.
(A better question would be : >Do you wish to delete (e.g.) 10 Tapes ?<)

OK - I accept it !
but nevertheless, is there a chance to correct the situation  wihout
starting at once
several new fresh DB-Backups ?

Thanks in advance
Martin
