Agreed Simon,
I have written a script to report on every image, which tape it resides
on and which file number each fragment resides on the tape, we have used
the report a number of times to retrieve info from tape that has expired
in NBU. We used this method as purely a get of jail card and not as rule
of thumb as data could quite easily be overwritten once the images have
expired. If tapes are shipped off site indefinitely then this would be
quite advantageous as long as the reports are kept, in that way you can
keep your catalog manageable and additionally have record of data off
site.
Hope my two pennies help.
Dave

As long as you have the Media on tape, even if it the media has expired
from the Catalog itself, the tapes can be imported? That counts as being
able to retain the Data and restore it (although just not as quick!)

BEWARE that many times you are legally obligated to maintain 7
years of data.
Unfortunately, you may be required to ALSO provide data past the
7 year legal requirement IF you have it and IF you can restore it.
One company I was at, determined that infinity should only be 7
years in order to avoid a court order to provide the older data.
They not only had me change the current policies to use a 7 year
retention,
they also had me recalculate the expiration dates on existing
images that were set to infinite (2038) retention.
That edict came from their legal department.

Guys
Regarding the "retension" setting under any schedule. After 1
year, it moves from Infinity Level 9 to Level 24.
Just what level should be used it you want to retain something
for say 10 years.
Thanks
