A customer has millions of files to delete, and it can be hours before the Y/N prompt appears. He is doing the deletes with this syntax, from the command line. Is there a faster, better way? He needs to split up the delete process into several smallish bites, not the whole elephant at once. delete backup \\soenetapp1\groups\~snapshot\hourly.0\ic\* -deltype=ALL With my thanks, Keith This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
