Hi there,
With the GUI-client, you have the option to manually delete archived

I'd like to delete a whole lot of those packages. Using the GUI is

Wanda,
I found out what was happening. I had a windows schedule that does a net
stop and net start of the TSM service that I had forgotten about.
The reason we set that up was to do snapshots of the TSM db copy volumes
that reside on a netapp filer.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

You could use the ODBC but if you look at Andy's post. If you start the dsmadc

Backupsets are not considered DRMEDIA by DRM. You can't use MOVE MEDIA on them
either because they do not belong to a storage pool.

then update the volhistory record for that tape with a
