"bpimmedia -mediaid <tapenum>" will show you all images on a specific tape -
you can check if NB is tracking this image.  "bpexpdate -backupid <bkid> -d
0 -force" will force expire that image if you need.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Expiring a single job on a single tape


Good day NBU admins,

I started this backup job which didn't fit on the tape I was trying to have
it 
fit on (resulting in the job failing because it couldn't load another tape),

and I would like to remove/expire the job in order to recover the lost space

on that tape. Thing is, I can't expire the tape because there is another job

on this tape that I cannot have expiring (it's an archive job which is
marked 
"infinite" expiration date).

Is there a way in NBU Datacenter 4.5 to expire a single job on a tape
without 
expiring the whole tape?

Thanks in advance!
Mat
