Phase 1 import has nothing to do with
image expiration.
It is not an image until phase 2 has been
done and the image file has been created in the netbackup/db/images directory.

Phase I Issue
I've been importing
several hundred media for a big restore job, and something funny has happened
to many of my media. Before starting the import I switched all
my retentions on the import server to infinity. Then I imported all the
media. Now it appears that only some of the images are available.
When I run the following command on any given media:
bpimport -PM -s 01/01/1971
00:00:00 -e 09/20/2009 23:59:59 -id IN2233
I get several of the
following errors:
INF - Skipping backup id
<Exchange Cluster Name>_1104559223, it is expired
Is this image really
expired? I seem to remember something about Phase I imports only lasting
7 days, but I thought setting all the retention periods to infinity would help
with that. My next step is to re-import the same media and see if I can
restore then. Anyone run into this before? I've run the same
command against media that I've scanned just a few days ago and I've got the
same issue. I'm not really sure where to go with this one.
