Depends.
If all you are managing is your DB backups, you are correct.
However, remember that if somebody creates EXPORT or BACKUPSET tapes,
they are also tracked in volume history. If you delete those records,
TSM loses track of them and they could get overwritten.

Subject: Volume History Question
Good morning people
This is such an old question but I have just been thinking about
something
and want to make sure that my understanding is correct.
When I want to delete volume history information, am I right in assuming
that I can delete anything older than my oldest database backup.
For example, in my setting I keep database backups for 4 days before
they
expire. So in this case, if I wanted to get rid of anything older than
say,
seven days, I would be safe to do so.
Is this right?
Thanks
