Hello,

I use DRM which I thought would manage the retention of my backup for 20
days, but as you can see below from the partial listing of q volh type=dbb
I have dbb that go past the 20 days.  Would anyone happen to know what I
am doing incorrectly?  I have TSM 5.3.5.2 on AIX 5.3.  Thanks in advance!
