Hello.  Jeannie here, I work with Tim.
I did the q drmstat and it had 60 days.  We just changed to 7 days.

I'm reading the documentation and I found:

Use this command to specify when a database backup series is eligible to be 
expired.
The value set by this command applies to both a snapshot and a full plus 
incremental database backup series.

Question: even when it was set to 60 days, we still can't delete it?

Allen,
What are your setting for DRMSTATS ?
( q drmstats)
My understanding was that it controlled the retention of these volumes, just 
like the normal DB backup vols.
