Right clicking on these and going to Change, then clicking on Disk
Staging Schedule you see "Schedule type", which is (*) Frequency and is
set to 4 hours.

So every 4 hours it's supposed to be expiring and copying to tape, no?
So I guess what it does is copy, not remove. But the difference is that
it sets the data to expired so the new data can overwrite it, yeah? Is
there a way to see what data on the DSSU is currently locked/not-expired?
