G'day, I've got a small problem with deleting database backup records from the volhistory file. I have records in there going back about 5 weeks but we normally only keep a few days worth. If I do 'delete volh type=dbb todate=today-5' no records are removed even though 8 records more than that age exist as shown by 'q volh type=dbb'. The cause I think is the backup series number. The numbers for the 8 records that I cannot remove are 1377 through 1380 (there are a mix of full and incremental backups). Whereas the more recent backup series are 1248 through 1250. How I managed to get some older backup series with higher numbers I have no idea. Any ideas as to how I can fix this? One option is to wait the 130 or so days until the current backup series number reach the older numbers. But my concern is that if I wait until then I might find myself in a position where I am unable to perform a database backup due to conflicting backup series numbers. thanks, Trevor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message and any attachment is confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
