Mark, Maybe there are not any database backups to delete !
To check enter :- query volh type=dbb I think the cmd you have tried, del volh todate=today type=dbb if it had worked , would mean all your database backups would have been wiped out !

I figured out for me self, that: del volh todate=today type=dbb should do the job. I also made an new Full DB Backup "today" to fit the needs of that command, but i always get the message : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- del volh todate=today type=dbb Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) Y ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 0 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What wrong with that command ??? what did i miss ??? with regrads M Nibble
