Hi Keith, Why you don't make your delete with the administrative command line ? This is more effective ! :) But, it's will work only if your filesystem is a "mount point" (Net share/Unix File System ...)
Be carefull with the option deltype ! You delete Backup versions and Archive verions of your data It seems to me that the option -wait=yes|no is only for the administrative command lines. In administrative command lines : delete file NODENAME FILESPACENAME type=BA|AR|ANY (BA=BAckup|AR=Archive|ANY=Default) Or Delete filespace NODENAME NUMBEROFFSID nametype=FSID type=BA|AR|ANY (BA=BAckup|AR=Archive|ANY=Default) (More secure !)

I have found in some cases this is an undocumented option that can be used to avoid prompting, similar to the waitt=0 when using the "checkin libv" command. I did not see any reference in your response to this option ~Rick -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 2:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] fastest delete backup syntax I am not sure I understand your question? Both of the methods I suggested are bound by the value of wait.

A customer has millions of files to delete, and it can be hours before the Y/N prompt appears. He is doing the deletes with this syntax, from the command line. Is there a faster, better way? He needs to split up the delete process into several smallish bites, not the whole elephant at once. delete backup \\soenetapp1\groups\~snapshot\hourly.0\ic\* -deltype=ALL With my thanks, Keith This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
