Hi, gang!

I have two database backup rotations:  onsite (DB0000-DB0010)
and offsite (DB1000-DB1010).  Onsite backups are done daily
and Offsite are done weekly.  All backups are full backups.

The problem is that I need to reuse my onsite backup tapes
before I'm ready to reuse my offsite backup tapes.  If I delete the
volhist to reuse my dailies, then the records of my offsite backups
go away.

Is there a way to delete the volhist for my onsite backup volumes
after 10 days and delte the volhist for my offsite backups after 60
days?

Or is there another way I should be doing this that I haven't
thought of?

Thanks in advance.
