I'm fairly sure that a tape has to be pulled from the scratch pool before it will be returned to the scratch pool. So if you added tapes and added them to a pool other than scratch, they won't be moved to Scratch once the are expired. They will just stay in the original pool. I guess the best thing

Jonathan Yes it will, because you are forcing an expire of that tape - if the "auto" way is left to Netbackup, it is essentially doing the same thing (ie: 1 tape has a retention of 1 week and after this time, its put back into Scratch ready for Netbackup to use). HTH Simon Weaver Technical Supp

I run two scripts to expire media. First I run the bpexpdate -m ## -d o which does work sometimes. I found through trial and error that this will not only reassign the media to scratch, but also wipes the catalog of any information about that media. If that doesn't work, I then have to vmque
