Howdy All,

=20

I need some help. I'm trying to change the expiration date of

Backups in the image catalog using the following:

=20

bpexpdate -recalculate -policy MINE -ret 3

=20

I originally made the retention level to log (3 months), I'm now
trying to put them to 1 month.

=20

However, I started this command on Friday afternoon, It was still
running Monday morning and when I use the available_media
script, I don't see that the expiration dates of any tapes has
been changed....

=20

What's up? Has anyone been able to make this command work?

=20

Thanks....James=20
