Using FILE Volumes for Database Backups and Export Operations

When you back up the database or export server information, Tivoli Storage Manager records information about the volumes used for these operations in the volume history. Tivoli Storage Manager will not allow you to reuse these volumes until you delete the volume information from the volume history. To reuse volumes that have previously been used for database backup or export, use the DELETE VOLHISTORY command. For information about the volume history and volume history files, see Saving the Volume History File.

Note:
If your server is licensed for the Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) product, the volume information is automatically deleted during MOVE DRMEDIA command processing. For additional information about DRM, see Chapter 23, Using Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager.
