Hi Jürgen, this largely depends on your current pool layout. How many jobs per volume, maximume volume size, action on purge and so on all come into play here. Normally it's a two step process: - deleting the volumes in bconsole using delete volume = ... commands - Removing the volume files (on-disk) using "rm". Depending on your db size deleting a volume can take a bit of time though. Cheers, Uwe -- NIONEX --- Ein Unternehmen der Bertelsmann SE & Co.
