When doing the bpimage command, we do:
bpimage -cleanup -allclients
If you have a touch file called /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND
on your Master Server, the cleanup will occur in the background without
affecting the backups and their scheduling. It runs a long time, but it
works very well for us.
Additionally, on the next browse for a restore, we have it set-up so
expansion will occur only if the browse date is over 30 days old.

Hi,
Usually backup images will occupy most of the space. There are 3 options to
reduce size.
1) using bpimage -compress -allclients - this will compress images, so size
would be reduced. On next restores (or browse) files will expand again.
2) catalogue backup and catalogue remove - For restores, recover the catalog
(bpcatlist will show the image is online or offline)
3) For images that no longer required, you may clean them using bpexpdate
command (You will not be get the images back apart from reimport)
bpexpdate -m <mediaid> -d 0 will clear all images on the media or
bpexpdate -backupid <backupid> -d 0 - to clear based on backupid.
Keeping reasonable period for retension and having sufficient space for db
will ease this maintenance.
Regards, Mani

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Catalog cleanup
Happy holidays,
We are running 4.5 on a solaris master. Our catalog is about 13 gig in size
and filling up the filesystem. Is there a command to clean up the catalog
to reduce the size?
thanx,
dale
