Have you made another dbbackup yet ?
sounds like not, maybe...
if you perform a "q volhist t=dbb" do you see your volume in question ?
        if so you remove those with the "del volhist t=dbb tod=xxx" but you
can't delete your only dbbackup
if it failed you shouldn't really even see it listed as a dbbackup...?

my thoughts with the info supplied...
