Hi Wanda, I thought about this way too, but my DB is about 5,5 GB and there is no enough space on disks for fileclass backup, except of possibility to create fileclass with little volume size (e.g. 100MB) and delete them just during backup to save disk space. A little "brutal action" to satisfy that simple request :-)))).
Thanks to all.

Here's a "sneaky" way I have used to do it: * Create a devclass of type=FILE, pointing to a directory on disk. * Run a NEW DB snapshot using the new devclass.. * Now your tape DBSNAPSHOT isn't the "last" one, you should be able to remove it with DELETE VOLHIST to get your tape back. * Use OS commands to delete the disk file containing the last DBSNAPSHOT to get your disk space back. There will still be an entry in your VOLHIST for that last DBSNAPSHOT. Don't know how to clean that up, but it's harmless. -----Original Message----- From: Toma9 Hrouda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 5:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Delete DB snapshot volume Hi all, Some time ago a had performed some DB snapshot to tape due to test device class definition. Now I want use this temporary tape but I can't because it is tracked in DB ans cannot be deleted as last DB snapshot series volume. Is any way to clear this reference adnd reuse this tape if it is 6 months old and normal full backups are performed on daily basis? Thanks Tom --- Pxmchozm zprava neobsahuje viry.
