thanks. if the devclass is file then i guess i can not use the devclass option.  If 
this is the case how would i delete this DBbackup that was done to file dev class? I 
dont want to delete the regular tape dbbackup just the dbbackup on the file dev class. 
 I read the "h delete volhist" many time before i guess i missed the only server part. 
i guess the lasik surgery that i got was not worth the money :-P
 
thanks
Tae

        Next time try "help del volhist" and you will find your answer.
        
        DEVclass=classname
        Specifies the device class name that was used to create the database
        backups. This optional parameter can be used to delete database backups
        created using a server-to-server virtual volume device class. The type of
        the device class must be SERVER.
