While we are on the wish list:

how about allowing the client to delete the backups within a filespace
without deleting the archives? The ADSM admin can do that:
DELETE FILESPACE nodename filespace TYPE=BACKUP
but there is no such function in the client interface. I had hoped, that
the new node level admins could use that admin command for "their" nodes,
but they are not allowed to.
