You can also try using FORCE=YES at the end of the command to force TSM to 
delete a backup if you know they exist. This is undocument option in our 
version of TSM, doesn't mention anything of it when doing a H DEL VOLH but it 
does work. Comes in handy when trying to delete that solitary pesky DBsnapshot 
that refuses to go away.

Aloha,

I want to delete old database backups.
I figured out for me self, that: del volh todate=today type=dbb should do the 
job.
I also made an new Full DB Backup "today" to fit the needs of that command, but 
i always get the message :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
del volh todate=today type=dbb
Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) Y
ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 0 sequential volume history entries were 
successfully deleted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What wrong with that command ??? what did i miss ???


with regrads

M Nibble
