Hi All,

 

I have a strange question which may be related to my misunderstanding of how SLP works.

I ran the nbstlutil command on a particular client with the following results (many lines)

Image <client_backupid> for Lifcycle SLP is COMPLETE

               Copy to Disk is NOT_STARTED

               Copy to Tape is NOT_STARTED

 

What is confusing me is that the image for the specified backupid does not exist anywhere that I can find. Bpimagelist –backupid <client_backupid> show no entity found.

So how can the Lifecycle be complete if there are no images? The actual backup does not exist on disk. The SLP backups to disk then copies to tape, ONLY. Also this particular SLP has a retention level of infinite. L

 

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,
