Thanks; I knew I remembered something like this. The Command Reference
states "Removes the oldest full save and all save sets dependant on it
from the online
index. Browse and retention policies are ignored". So ... how do I know
what are the "oldest"? Does that mean it keeps only yesterday's backup,
and throws everything else away? Or does it mean it throws away the 12
oldest savesets (as an example)?
The description shows like the reverse of what you say - sounds like it
doesn't expunge the latest (i.e., newest) savesets, but the oldest. Which
is fine, and what I want, but I'd like to be able to tell it to expunge
anything older than a specified time (for instance, keep one year's worth,
and dump the rest).
Can you do a "nsrim -l -n", to show you what it would be expunging?
