You could always change each policy manually via the Veritas NetBackup
GUI.

Unless I have > 100 policies, I prefer to check and change by hand.

=20

I'm hoping one of you might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong.=20

We currently have a policy with an retention level of infinity (9). We
want to change this to 68 weeks.=20

In bpadm I've set retention level 10 to 68 weeks, changed the foobar
policy to use level 10. Now I want to change all=20
the tapes/images in foobar's volume pool to 68 weeks. I ran the
following:=20

sudo bpexpdate -recalculate -policy foobar -ret 10=20

But when I run the  bpmedialist or available_media commands, everything
is still showing up as=20
retention level 9. Any ideas how I can set these tapes to a 68 week
retention period?=20

Thanks.=20
