Hi John,



I would just pull the volsers of the libvolumes that are defined as
DBBACKUP:
select volume_name from libvolumes where last_use='DbBackup'

Then look and see if they still live ANYWHERE in volume history:
select * from volhistory where volume_name='XXXXXX'

Assuming these are physically in the 3494, if they don't exist in
volhistory, and they don't exist in a storage pool, I would change them all
back to scratch tapes:
update libv libname volumename status=scratch

Then just watch to see if they get reused.
