Adam,
Aaron's on the right track, but there's more to consider.
Do you have ALL the data that is backed up in "NT Incremental" included in
a Full backup? The schedule for "NT Incremental" does not need to have
Full backups defined, but ALL of the data in "NT Incremental" must be
included in a Full backup.
Are there at least two Full backups of the data during the 2 week
retention? If not, the media will not recycle.
In your reports, I see that "hub01" aborted. If this occurs during a Full,
that Full backup does not count!

Sounds like these are part of a backup cycle that isn't ready to recycle
yet. I would guess that these savesets are incrementals and that they will
recycle after your next full backup. In my experience, NetWorker keeps all
of the savesets of the oldest cycle until it has one more cycle than what
you defined.

This is the mminfo of a couple of tapes that should have expired listed.
The save sets are still listed as browsable so it's not recycling, if
that helps anyone help me debug.

Subject: [Networker] Save Set expirations
Hey all,
Been trying to figure this one out, but I haven't been able to search
the archives. I'm trying to figure out why tapes that are set to expire
still contain browsable save sets.
Information:
I've got a pool called NT Incremental, where the clients backed up to it
are all set for 2 week browse, 2 week retention. A few of the clients
are also duplicated for other pools(NT Full(1 month browse 2 month
retention), NT Monthly(2 month browse, 1 year retention). This tape has
14 save sets, last saved. All of them are marked status recyclable
except 3 of them. They are all incremental save sets, last save date
was 6/11. Volume list says expiration is 6/25/04, but the tape is not
marked recyclable I suspect due to the 3 browsable save sets left on the
tape. Any ideas why those are not recycling? Two of the three save
sets are one client that only is set up for these NT Incremental
backups, 2 week 2 week. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam Ardis
