True that 'delete files' runs from dsmadmc and 'query files' and 'query backup' run from dsmc. I wanted to show an example of the fsid I was trying to get to work. Within a program I'm writing I can get the 'q files' to work just file showing me the set of filespaces stored for the current node. I'm not able to get 'q backup FILESPACE' to work. I have just read of the alternate form (c:\) in the manual and am trying that form now. Another suggestion? Mike
