Before you do anything, review how you set up your DB backups. If they were through DRM, you should be employing DRM regimens to expire them, rather than interfere with Delete Volhistory. And your DB backup retention needs to mesh with all server recovery elements, particularly Reusedelay. Keep

Avy, Your collocation is set to node for the stg pool 3584tapepool. This will increase the tape usage of course. If it is not required (backup of different nodes can be on the same tape), set it to none. Best regards, Kurt > -Oorspronkelijk bericht- > Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailt

What kind of tape library are you using? I check things in using checkin libv tapelib 123456 status=scr which checks them in as scratch and then each of my storage pools I have set the number of max scratch to something like 99 or 9,999 that way whenever it needs a scratch tape it pulls it in. -
