Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Deleting File Spaces

Authorized User

If your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator gives you authority, you can delete entire file spaces from the server. You cannot delete individual backup versions that are kept on the server. When you delete a file space, you delete all the files and images, both backup versions and archive copies, that are contained within the file space. For example, if you delete the file space for your /home/monnet file system, you are deleting every backup for every file in that file system and every file you archived from that file system. Carefully consider whether you want to delete a file space.

You can delete file spaces using the Tivoli Storage Manager GUI or command line clients. To delete NAS file spaces, use the Web client or command line client.

To delete a file space using the GUI, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Utilities> Delete Filespaces from the main window.
  2. Click the selection boxes next to the file spaces you want to delete.
  3. Click the Delete button. Tivoli Storage Manager prompts you for confirmation before deleting the file space.

You can also delete a file space using the delete filespace command. See Delete Filespace for more information. Use the class option with the delete filespace command to delete NAS file spaces. See Class for more information.
