Subject: URGENT: How to delete backupsets


> Hi,
>
> On a stand-alone TSM configuration on an AIX server, we make a daily
> backupset of the data to keep a copy offsite.
> We use a retention of 6 days, so we can use 5 tapes for every weekday. The
> volumes we use have the names of the days.
>
> We make the backupset by:
> generate backupset aix dinsdag devcl=7337cl vol=dinsdag ret=6 scratch=no
>
> Even after a delete backupset * the new backupset connot be made.

> q backupset
> no match found

> q volhist
> Date/Time: 19-09-2001
> Volume Name: DINSDAG
> Command: generate backupset aix dinsdag devcl=7337cl vol=dinsdag ret=6
> scratch=no

> The 6 days are over, ik cannot delete the records by delete volhist, there

> It worked for 1 week...
