"How long do I keep volhist" is related to "How long do I set reusedelay", both of which are subsidiary to "How far back in time am I willing to revert my TSM server in the event of a problem?". If you have a 25-day-old database backup, but your REUSEDELAY is not set to at least 26 days, then when you -use- the 25-day-old database, some unknown amount of it will be invalid. Ick. Audit everything? I suggest deciding on the "How far back am I willing to contemplate recovering my TSM server" value first, and then setting both REUSEDELAY and the length of volhist retention with that in mind. So, if you want 4 days, then set them both at something a little more than 5. If you want 30 days, set them both at something a little more than 31. - Allen S. Rout
