If you use server-to-server virtual volumes for the RPFs, then this works very nicely. If you put the RPFs into a local file system/directory then this is a nice reminder that you should periodically get rid of older RPFs. Some of my installations have automated this clean-up, but most of my installations just manually delete old RPFs every 6 months or so. The RPFs typically are small, so they don't take up much room.

I had thought that by doing the set drmrpfexpiredays that the file would expire after the number of days specified for this parameter, but the files are still there. Do I have to run a certain command in order for this to expire? Thanks in advance! * Recovery plan files of type RPFILE and RPFSNAPSHOT. The SET DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS command controls when these volumes are eligible for expiration. ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
