Hi all,

I am using TSM 4.1 and TDP for SAP R/3. We are taking daily online backup(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday)  and weekly offline backup (Sunday). We have 6 sets of online/daily backup and 4 sets of offline/weekly backup. After every days backup we take TSM DB backup and VOLHISTORY and DEVCONFIG backup.

Now to reuse the tapes used for TSM DB backup we have to issue the command DELETE VOLhistory  with option TYPE=DBBACKUP and TODATE=mm/dd/yyyy. But this command deletes all DBbackup info prior to date mm/dd/yyyy. I want to delete volhistory info only for one perticuler day. Can anyone guide me how to do this?  Because on every online backup day (say Monday), if i delete volhistory info for last Monday, it deletes volhistory info for last Sunday/offline backup as well. Where as i want to retain offline backup volhistory info for one month.

Please guide me how to delete DB backup volhistory info only for one perticuler day, so that i can retain volhistory info prior to that day as well.

All suggestions are most welcome.

 

Regards

Praveen
