I may be missing something but based on your provided mminfo output,
when you see an E in ssflags, it means Eligible, in other words,
recyclabble.

I think most possible cause to be someone to have recycled 
the volume (wrong click in the gui?) by error.

In any case, if you need to keep them, using nsrmm, you can reset 
expiration date and, if you do not have an index backup to recover  
from that time, then, for SSID you need to have index of, if no index 
can be recovered, you will have to scan them.

If you just need the entire backup and do not need to have index
of files having be saved, then you can just recover entire ssid
and then delete files you do not need after recover.

Subject: [Networker] Any clues about why this tape expired?

Hello,

I have some tape where we backup some data that we want to preserve
during 1
year. The browse/retention policy for the instance clients during the
backup
to this tape was fixed for 1 year.

Now, we've found that the mode of this tape is 'recyc' and the
expiration is
'expired'. Our server version is Legato NetWorker 7.1.2 under Windows
2000.

If we use mminfo to see expiration information about all the savesets of
this tape we can see that NONE OF THEM IS EXPIRED!! So, why this tape is
expired?

Command to see info about this tape:

C:\>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,volaccess,volretent,savesets" |
find
"HIS101"
HIS101         r    E  13/02/2004 expired    72

Command to see info about the savesets in the tape (all the backups were
done in February 2004 and its supposed expiration should be February
2005):

C:\>mminfo -a -q "volume=HIS101" -r
"ssbrowse,ssretent,ssinsert,sscomp,ssflags,name" | sort
 browse   retent  inserted completed ssflags name

Any idea about this problem? Any solution? I would like to have this
tape in
its supposed state at this moment! I would like to have this tape like
this
one:

C:\>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,volaccess,volretent,savesets" |
find
"HIS102"
HIS102         r       27/07/2004 28/07/2005 118

Is it possible to change the 'volretent' for the tape "HIS101"?

Thank you very much!
