Error description
Currently, if incremental database backups are taken on different days to the full backup db that they depend on, they will not be deleted when only the full can be deleted. For example: q volhist type=dbb 10/06/16 11:00:17 BACKUPFULL 8 0 1,001 10/06/16 11:00:17 BACKUPFULL 8 0 100,00 10/12/16 04:07:52 BACKUPINCR 8 1 100,00 10/12/16 04:09:55 BACKUPFULL 9 0 100,00 So there is a full backup db taken on 6th October 2016 and an incremental backup db taken on 12th October 2016 dependent on the full backup from the 6th. Running "delete volhist type=dbb" on the 12th October, for entries older than 8th October, results in 2 entries being deleted for the full backup: 10/12/16 04:22:51 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DELETE VOLHISTORY type=dbb todate=today-4 10/12/16 04:22:52 ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 2 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted. So from "q volhist type=dbb", it can be seen that only the full db backup entries were deleted and the incremental backup is left behind, with no associated full backup. 10/12/16 04:07:52 BACKUPINCR 8 1 100,00 10/12/16 04:09:55 BACKUPFULL 9 0 100,00 Tivoli Storage Manager versions affected: Server 6.3.x and 7.1.x on supported platforms Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TSM IBM Spectrum Protect delete volhist database backups incremental
Local fix
Do not delete a full db backup until able to delete the last incremental db backup in the sequence.
