When you use DRM to do vaulting, you should stop running the del volhist for
dbb tapes.
(You can continue to do del volhist for other types of tapes.)

That's a key point that is often missed about DRM.
DRM takes care of the DBB deleting when you use DRM for vaulting.

Enter:  Q DRMSTATUS

Youle see there is a parm for DBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS; that's the number of days
DRM keeps a DBBACKUP tape.  After that number of days, DRM turns it to
VAULTRETRIEVE status, the next MOVE DRM deletes it.
