thanks. if the devclass is file then i guess i can not use the devclass option. If
this is the case how would i delete this DBbackup that was done to file dev class? I
dont want to delete the regular tape dbbackup just the dbbackup on the file dev class.
I read the "h delete volhist" many time before i guess i missed the only server part.
i guess the lasik surgery that i got was not worth the money :-P
thanks
Tae

Next time try "help del volhist" and you will find your answer.
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.
