Re: DB Backup Volumes
1998-05-20 04:54:56
This sounds strange to me! My DB backups seem to be kept for 1 month
and then expire, so I am dedicating 30 3590 tapes to holding DB
backups. As mentioned this is a bit excessive. Isn't there a
parameter somewhere to specify how long to keep them for rather than
running a regular schedule with "del volhist t=dbb tod=-###"?
The only thing I can think of is that it uses the Standard Policy
Domain, which in my case has the backup retention set to 30 days. I
suppose I could just reduce this.
Cheers,
Simon
