Even though this thread is years old, I thought I'd post my solution in case it helps anybody else.
I have a similar setup and was wondering how to files from disk using DRM. Indeed the key is to process file based volumes in the same way as tapes. I use the following commands to delete disk based backups older than 30 days from disk My 'DB backup Series Expiration Days' is set to '30' Set DRMDBBackupexpiredays 30 SET DRMFILEPROCESS yes move drmedia * source=dbbackup enddate=today-30 wherestate=mountable tostate=vault When the backups are older than 30 days they will go into 'vault retrieve' status. You can then issue the following command move drmedia * source=dbbackup wherestate=VAULTRetrieve tostate=ONSITERetrieve As the retention period for these volumes has expired, they are deleted from disk. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
