Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Delete Filespace

The delete filespace command deletes file spaces from server storage. A file space is a logical space on the server that contains files you backed up or archived. Tivoli Storage Manager assigns a separate file space on the server for each workstation drive from which you back up or archive files. The file space name is the same as the drive label name. When you enter the delete filespace command, a list of your file spaces displays. From this list, select the file space that you want to delete.

Your administrator must give you authority to delete a file space. You need BACKDEL authority if the file space you want to delete contains backup versions, or ARCHDEL authority if the file space contains archive copies. If the file space contains both backup versions and archive copies, you need both types of authority.

Attention: When you delete a file space, you delete all backup versions and archive copies within that file space. When you delete a file space, you cannot restore the files. Verify that the files are obsolete before you delete them.
