Sid,

  One thing that can cause this behaviour is a very busy backup server. We have 
a master server that runs in excess of 7000 jobs a day. Several times a week we 
have to run "bpimage -cleanup -allclients". (technote 236274 
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/236274.htm )
And we are running CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] backupid's not expiring naturally


Suddenly a few days ago, backupid's just stopped expiring themselves. Hence
I've had to begin (on a semi-daily basis) manually checking/expiring
backupid's which should of themselves have expired naturally.

What could have caused NetBackup to begin skipping this task? And what can I
do to get NetBackup back to handling this task properly?
