Yeah - what they all said.  Backupid's have individual expiration dates, =
the
media's expiration date should be the latest image expiration date on =
that
tape.

Also - most likely he wants the backups for a particular client for a
particular date range to be have their expiration dates extended.

To do this, first lookup the backup-ids you need to extend:

bpimagelist -client <clientname> -d <start_date> -e <end_date> -idonly | =
awk
'{print $8}' | tee /tmp/bpidlist

now /tmp/bpidlist has a list of backupids for this client & date range.  =
Now
extend them:

for id in `cat /tmp/bpidlist`
do
  echo "Extending $id"
  bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid $id -d <new_date> -force
done

HTH - M

Guys
I wonder if you can help clarify something for me................

I have been asked to ensure a backup SESSION does not expire on the 17th =
Jan
06 - Today is the 13th Jan 06

Now, when I checked this policy, there are 2 tapes in a volume pool - =
the
guy asking me the question keeps referring to retaining a SESSION !!! =
Now, I
can see the tape is due to expire in 2 weeks time, but this is not
acceptable!

Is it possible, he is seeing something different to what I am? He truly
beleives that a backup will expire on the 17th!

I checked BPEXPDATE and you can specify a date for media and / or backup =
id
- I wonder if backup id is related to images?

Can I have an image that will expire BEFORE a tape? I guess it could?? =
If I
could have clarification, would truly apprecaite it
