I do not know how many dbbackup volume that you want to keep or
want to delete.
If you only have one dbbackup volume this can not be done.
This is a fail safe.

>From the Admin Ref. Manual, here is a basic syntax.


delete dbvolume todate=<XX>


TODate (Required)
Specifies the date to use to select sequential volume history
information to be deleted. TSM deletes only those records with
a date on or before the date you specify.
You can specify the data using one of the values below:


MM/DD/YYYY   A specific date       01/23/1999
TODAY        The current date      TODAY
TODAY-days or -days  The current date minus days specified. The
maximum number of days you can specify is 9999.
                                   TODAY-30 or -30.
To delete records that are 30 or more days old, you can specify
TODAY-30 or simply -30.
