My backup guys turned around to me the other day and told me that
we had been backing up 'Internet Explorer Temporary Files' and
'Recycle Bins' for the past 3 years on a weekly basis - in error!
He also tells me that we can't expire items from these areas
without expiring the whole Saveset (yes it's Networker).
[Question] Anyone any ideas how we can remove these piles of junk
from our tape backups?
Tape is not like disk; once the data is writen to tape, its on tape
until it all expires. Your only option that I can see is to recover
the data in question to a different server, then back up just what
you want from that server to different tapes. That's likely to be not
worth the effort though.
