I have made a complete backup just to delete the old one. If i got i right: A two backups must exists, so that one can be delete. This this isn't that hard to accomplish, i just did it. the output of q volh: ( well not all but ... ) ------------------------------------------------------- Date/Time: 07/29/04 10:18:58 Volume Type: BACKUPFULL Backup Series: 2 Backup Operation: 0 Volume Seq: 1 Device Class: AUTOLTO_CLASS Volume Name: AKZ901L1 Volume Location: Command: Date/Time: 08/17/04 10:06:05 Volume Type: BACKUPFULL Backup Series: 3 Backup Operation: 0 Volume Seq: 1 Device Class: AUTOLTO_CLASS Volume Name: AKZ911L1 Volume Location: Command: ------------------------------------------------------- the command: del volh type=dbb todate="anyvalue" -> always answers with: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- which is in turn not really so successfull as it stats! so again, what did i miss ??? or how to get rid of old database backups ???
