Problem deleting database backup volhistory records
2000-09-18 18:45:22
G'day,
I've got a small problem with deleting database backup records from the
volhistory file. I have records in there going back about 5 weeks but we
normally only keep a few days worth. If I do 'delete volh type=dbb
todate=today-5' no records are removed even though 8 records more than that age
exist as shown by 'q volh type=dbb'.
The cause I think is the backup series number. The numbers for the 8 records
that I cannot remove are 1377 through 1380 (there are a mix of full and
incremental backups). Whereas the more recent backup series are 1248 through
1250. How I managed to get some older backup series with higher numbers I have
no idea.
Any ideas as to how I can fix this? One option is to wait the 130 or so days
until the current backup series number reach the older numbers. But my concern
is that if I wait until then I might find myself in a position where I am
unable to perform a database backup due to conflicting backup series numbers.
thanks,
Trevor
