All,

Over the last few days, I've noticed that the vaulting process has not
been recalling any expired off-site media.
Although the daily vaulting is exiting without error & media is being
ejected & sent offsite, when I look in /usr/local/vaulting/reports, for
the daily created pic_vlt_sid*.txt file, it is not there ??

When I look in the GUI, it shows several hundred media as being expired
but which are still off-site ?!

2 questions really.........

*       Does anyone know of any reason why vault should have stopped
creating the report for the recall of expired media ?

*       Does anyone know how to best get a list of expired media from
the command line - I have tried bpmedialist with almost all the options
in the man page, but nothing seems suitable. What I would like to do is
create a script, which checks every day for any expired media that is
not in the library.

Thanks in advance.

Andy Hardy
