Delete DBBackup volume

[dandrestor]

Hello everybody and greetings from Romania, this is my first post on the forums.

I would like to delete a DB backup volume. I had DB backups running on a LTO device class for around two weeks, then at some point I switched to running DB backups to a SERVER device class.

I deleted the volume history for the LTO DB backup volumes, and they are all gone from the volhist now, however if I run "q libvol" I still see one DB backup volume (the other ones were returned to scratch).

I know that the latest DB backup volume cannot be deleted, but bear in mind that I have newer backups on the SERVER device class. The volume in question is, however, the only one in its LTO device class. Can I somehow delete it and return the volume to scratch?

Thanks,
Dan

How long do you keep DB backups?

DRM expiration is set at 60 days

This may explain why you still have one DB backup on tape.

I managed to return the volume to scratch simply by running upd libvol status=scratch )
