Hey group,  I would like to expand on this thread.  I have several duplicate 
files that were inadvertantly saved to tape that are not saved exclusively to 
dedicated tapes, meaning they are striped among files I need to retain.  Does 
anyone know if the delete volume command allows for deleting specific files on 
a tape.  I used the delete archive but this only removed it from the database 
and the files still reside on the tapes which I'd like to free up to be used 
for scratch.



Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Don

Hi

Write the command
Del volh type=dbb volume= AKZ901L1 todate=[the date u want to del ] force=yes

The force=yes will delete it anyway

Thanks for the answers,
i guess, i had left to much open.
I have made a complete backup just to delete the old one.
If i got i right: A two backups must exists, so that one can be delete.
This this isn't that hard to accomplish, i just did it.

the output of q volh: ( well not all but ...  )
-------------------------------------------------------
        Date/Time: 07/29/04   10:18:58
     Volume Type: BACKUPFULL
   Backup Series: 2
Backup Operation: 0
      Volume Seq: 1
    Device Class: AUTOLTO_CLASS
     Volume Name: AKZ901L1
 Volume Location:
         Command:

       Date/Time: 08/17/04   10:06:05
     Volume Type: BACKUPFULL
   Backup Series: 3
Backup Operation: 0
      Volume Seq: 1
    Device Class: AUTOLTO_CLASS
     Volume Name: AKZ911L1
 Volume Location:
         Command:
-------------------------------------------------------

the command: del volh type=dbb todate="anyvalue" -> always answers with:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 0 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
which is in turn not really so successfull as it stats!

so again, what did i miss ???
or how to get rid of old database backups ???
