Delete Filespace

The delete filespace command deletes file spaces in Tivoli® Storage Manager server storage. A file space is a logical space on the server that contains files you backed up or archived.

AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Mac OS X operating systems You must be an authorized user to use this command.

Mac OS X operating systems AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Tivoli Storage Manager assigns a separate file space on the server for each workstation file system from which you back up or archive files. The file space name is the same as the file system name.

Windows operating systems Tivoli Storage Manager assigns a separate file space on the server for each workstation file system from which you back up or archive files. The file space name is the same as the UNC name.

When you enter the delete filespace command, a list of your file spaces is displayed. From this list, select the file space that you want to delete.

Your Tivoli Storage Manager 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.

Important: 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.

AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Mac OS X operating systems Windows operating systems You can use the delete filespace command to interactively delete NAS file spaces from server storage. Use the nasnodename option to identify the NAS file server. Use the class option to specify the class of the file space to delete.
