Jonathan, Could you share your scripts? I have little scripting knowledge at the moment but am learning and some reference scripts would be of use.

Forget the catalog, just run bpexpdate with the image switch and use the <server>_<image num> directly on any file you find on the drive. Make sure you drop the extension. All my scripts parse the directory directly, I don't even bother querying the catalog first. You will get an error something like "entry does not exist" if you try to expire an image that does not exist in the catalog. -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Crowey Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 2:12 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Disc Staging Area Full Thanks fellas. I tried the catalogue method first - and while it did return some images, nowhere near as many as I know are in the disc staging areas. But nonetheless, I expired those. As I mentioned earlier, this came about through a synthetic backup snafu - and first stage of fixing the problem I just cancelled the differential job writing to disc; this couldn't have orphaned the images on disc could it? Or do I have to now manually find/identify the old images and use bpexpdate as suggested? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
