Thank you for your responses.
The command "del volhist t=ddb tod=-###", while certainly
correct, hasn't worked in my case. This is why I was seeking
additional counsel.
Does it make any difference that I am doing my DB backups on an
8MM drive, hung on the SCSI chain of the ADSM server (AIX)?
Thanks again for any help.
