Tim Thanks,

Had to use the following command

DELete VOLHistory TODate=TODAY Type=BACKUPSET VOLume=C00130 FORCE=Yes

Does Expire Inventory work with backupsets and can you be specific about
expiring a Specific Backup set and it's tapes?


Best regards!

Well - you can't delete by backupset name.  I think I read once where you can 
specify volumes in an undocumented option, but that's irrelevant.

Expire inventory.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Delete backupset volumes question

   Hello all,

I  removed some backupsets using the admincenter (gui) when I refresh the table 
it doesn't show that the backupset exist  however I still see them when I do a 
q volh type=backupset  (example below) we need to get rid of the backupset 
volumes in this old library. How can I remove these backup sets and the volumes 
totally?


There is no name to the example but I know I can delete that date
12/29/06 backup set and any volumes belonging to it. I know about the delete 
volume history command but I just see examples where they have a backupset name.


Date/Time: 12/29/06   16:19:10
