Also a "query volhist t=dbb"  (that is type=databasebackup) will show
     you what is there.... to get rid of them and let the volumes roll back
     into scratch status you simply do a "del volhist t=dbb tod=-###" where
     ### is a number of days to go back in time from the current date.  I
     use "del volhist t=dbb tod=-7" so I delete db backups older than one
     week. NOW I WOULD NEVER THINK OF trying to recover from a week old
     dbbackup 'cause of the time involved to audit everyting but this gives
     me the ability to say I'm covering things to my best ability.
     later

From the administrative command line, use q libvolume (format=detailed
if you want much detail).  The far right hand column will give you your
info.
