Hello Martin
Something to check.....

In 5.1, goto the Policies and expand this.

Choose a policy , double click (if your windows) and goto the Schedules
Tab).

Double click on the schedule and there will be a section called "RETENTION"
- this should show what the retention is set for within this schedule on the
policy you are viewing.

Also, check your MEDIA LISTS under the "Reports" Feature - see if there are
tapes that have expired but are frozen.
You can sort this by Expired date too :-)

Hope this helps!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Experation


N00b question here I know, but what sets the media expiration date?  I'm
taking over a Netbackup 5.1 environment and we seem to have a load of issues
with media never expiring / having to vmquery -deassignbyid to get stuff to
go back into the scratch pool.  I'd say the GUI is useless for 80% of my
media returns from offsite.
