Re: [Veritas-bu] image cleanup process

I agree with Ed, the below "-allclients" switch may still be undocumented for a variety of reasons. Indeed, use with caution.

A couple of years ago we had this in a cron job and would find backups occasionally failing with a status 228. I don't know if it was specific that the release we were running at the time but I'd suggest being careful about triggering these cleanups manually.

I think along with the below your also asking if you can run the cleanup of images manually rather than waiting for the twelve hour default, if so:

\admincmd\bpimage -cleanup -allclients

Been looking at this myself.

The image clean up is part of it.

By default it is set to 12 hours and can go a low as 8 hours.

A clean up will run after a restore if nothing else is running, or after a session of backups.

But it is the bpexpidate -deassigempty that expires images.

And this you cannot change when it runs

I understand Netbackup does a cleanup process on a regular bases when a job fails or ends etc. Also
I understand a nightly cleanup process runs to expire images on disk etc.. What time does this nightly cleanup
job kick off or better yet, how do I change this job to run at a specific time?
