Hello,

Some time ago we had to switch expiration time on most of 
our backups to infinity
To do that we used:
# bpexpdate -recalculate 
command. Now we have some of our backups expired
We did it using:
# bpexpdate -backupid .. -d 0
command. We expired up 60 % of all old backups
which we switched to infinity expiration and we've got 
no tapes expired. All of then are still full.
We are expecting 100-200 expired tapes.
Last time we had this situation Veritas suggested us
to use
# vmquery -deassignbyid 
command. We can't use it now becouse we still
have to keep some backups and can't deassign 
tapes based on time when they were written. 
What can we do to make NetBackup check
expired tapes? 

- The latest patch was applied. 
- bptm -delete_expired doesn't help.

Thanks,
