I'm not quite sure I'm understanding *why* you'd want to delete the data on the volume in the first place - if you simply wanted to return the physical volume to the scratch pool, wouldn't a 'move data' of its contents to another volume achieve that without getting the sledgehammer out?

The data will be backed up once again by TSM. If you do a delete volume on the primary, the references to the copy data will also be deleted, and a backup stg will pick that up as well. hth, bob This email was sent to you by Reuters, the global news and information company.
