You can also try using FORCE=YES at the end of the command to force TSM to delete a backup if you know they exist. This is undocument option in our version of TSM, doesn't mention anything of it when doing a H DEL VOLH but it does work. Comes in handy when trying to delete that solitary pesky DBsnapshot that refuses to go away.

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 -- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
