Hi Guru's
I ran into a situation that is new for me.
For some reason duplicates received a expiration date that is much later
as intended.
Now as the expiration of the images, and tapes should occur, they stil
have more than a year to go.
So I want to expire them and use them again as scratch

Question what is the complete procedure to expire tapes which have

bpexpdate -m media id -d 0
-d 0 - will expire the tape now and put the tape in the scratch pool.
You can use -d option with a date and time to change the tape retension
time.

works fine but on those duplicates it doesn't expire the tape.=20
I'm not sure I understand what behavior you're seeing.
So if you bpexpdate one tape, it should expire any
