Ok - so I've been working on this issue recently and I'm wondering if I'm just missing something or not. Whenever a file or Oracle backup fails the tapes it used remain assigned and the images do not expire until after their retention expires. So if a 1TB backup runs 24 hours, then fails on the last kilobyte (for whatever reason) I am out 4 or 5 tapes. This is most annoying! I can't restore this data, so why retain the images? 1 - is there an easy way to reclaim these tapes. I know I can simply bpexpdate -m them but its possible to have other data on them (because of multistreaming.) PM> You can duplicate the images you want to keep to another tape and reclaim the tape using bpexpdate. 2 - If I lookup the images on the tapes, can I expire only them and will NBU then use that space? PM> No. NetBackup appends to tapes. That is why by default NetBackup does not mix different image retentions on the same tape. 3 - Can Netbackup do all of this automatically for me? PM> It already does. NetBackup expires the images based on retention. PM> It is not unusual to have spare tapes in the event that a tape or backup fails. I'm working on other solutions including using checkpoint restart for file backups but in the mean time, I'm struggling with this.
