By the way, you could use bpexpdate -m <mediaID> -d 0 if you want to force netbackup to move the tapes into SCRATCH, assuming that has been configured and the tapes have no images on there that are needed!

I'm taking over a Netbackup 5.1 environment and we seem to have a load of issues with media never expiring / having to vmquery -deassignbyid to get stuff to go back into the scratch pool. I'd say the GUI is useless for 80% of my media returns from offsite. -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This email is for the intended addressee only.
