Hi Paul
thanks for the swift reply - in point 1, I went to look at the reports
(normally I look at media lists), but I dont see anything. Could you just
clarify how its deleted or how I can see from a report when its due to
expire?
 
Point 2 - As this is all a TEST, I am not worried about the Data - So I may
delete the storage unit, create a new disk storage unit, and enable disk
phase 2 (which I just read in the book)
 
Point 3 - If the Data is moved to tape, one sorts of assumes its going to be
in the NBU DB in the event I need a restore?
 
Point 4 - Is DSSU's the same as DSU?
 
Thanks
 
 

Regards

1) On the new volume are image files of the server that was backed up. If I
wanted to expire the disk based backup, how is this done? 
 
expire the image as if it were an image on tape....an image is an image.
 
2) I do not see an option to do STAGE2 of Disk Storage (which I guess you
can put to tape). I think its because I created a bog-standard DSU. Is there
an option to do this, or should I just delete and start again? 
 
you need to use  bpduplicate, or vault.
if you want it done "automatically" you should us a DSSU (Disk STAGING
Storage Unit, as opposed to a straight DSU.)
 
3) If I have to delete, what about the data that was backed up? 
 
lost....same as if you lost a tape....better idea to properly expire the
image.
 
4) Who else does DSU and any advice on how long data is kept, or whether you
use Stage 2 methods and write to tape? 
 
I use DSSUs, but not DSUs.
