Frank,

yes, it's the same time for each file type device, so it's the 24-hour
reclaiming of space you mentioned.
I don't see errors every day but some errors every now and then; so we can
say part of the deletions is on behalf of those aborted save sets.

I've deleted the (already disabled!) staging policy I mentioned and I've
done the mminfo you suggested to track the save sets (including the ssflags
as Michael suggested); of course NO save set deletion has been reported last
night, I'll wait till tomorrow...

Ingo
