Many thanks Gary Helpful and concise as always. I think what I'm going to do is just keep about six months worth.

I let my volume history grow. This is because I occasionally need to know the history of a particular tape cartridge. After it goes back to scratch, tsm loses its error information. I can use the volhist to see how many times it has cycled through stgnew through stgdelete. However, If you have no need for such historical data, you are correct. You only need data back to the oldest db backup.

When I want to delete volume history information, am I right in assuming that I can delete anything older than my oldest database backup. For example, in my setting I keep database backups for 4 days before they expire. So in this case, if I wanted to get rid of anything older than say, seven days, I would be safe to do so. Is this right?
