Hi Richard (and others)!
Thank you very much for your reply!
I forgot that the volume history file is generated by the BAckup
VOLHistory command and thought it was a file which was continuously
updated by TSM.
Thank you very much for the update!
Kindest regards,

Hi, Eric -

The file is a copy of the information in the TSM database, generated by
TSM, usually automatically via the VOLUMEHistory server option, but also
by manual invocations of the BAckup VOLHistory command.  The principal
purpose of the file is as a reference to TSM database recovery
operations.
