The latest snapshot database backup will not be deleted. DEVclass=classname Specifies the device class name that was used to create the database backups. This optional parameter can be used to delete database backups created using a server-to-server virtual volume device class. The type of the device class must be SERVER. This parameter can only be used to delete volume history entries of type BACKUPFULL, BACKUPINCR, or DBSNAPSHOT.
A full, incremental, or snapshot database backup volume is eligible to be deleted if all of the following conditions are met: + The device class used to create the database backup volume matches the specified device class + The volume was created on or before the specified date and time + The volume is not part of the latest full plus incremental database backup series if the specified volume type is DBBackup, or snapshot database backup series if the volume type is DBSnapshot You can try : del volh t=dbs force=y tod=today Regards, Pierre Cayé > -----Message d'origine----- > De : ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De > la part de Richard Sims > Envoyé : lundi 1 octobre 2007 13:18 > À : ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Objet : Re: [ADSM-L] Unable to delete volhist entries > > On Oct 1, 2007, at 4:48 AM, Otto Chvosta wrote: > > > ...
