Re: [Veritas-bu] retentions

As far as I know once images expire they
are deleted from the Netbackup catalog – as a result (and as you state)
it is not possible to unexpire images
within the catalog via bpexpdate. The only option is to manually import
the images off the tapes, assuming you know what tapes have the images you need
and they haven’t yet been overwritten. If you are able to do the
import then you can assign whatever retention you want.
It’s not hard to find existing images
for current clients, but if the image has expired it doesn’t exist in the
catalog anymore.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] retentions
We
had an issue where was server was down for over 2 weeks and the last full
backups expired. The retention for this environment is 2 weeks. After the tapes
expired the App team decided they wanted to restore. Now management wants
Veritas to extend the retention period automatically if a full is not
successfully run. I do not know of any company that has this capability so I am
looking for ideas. I do not think it would be possible for a person to manually
track all the servers and their last full and then manually bpexpdate the
images. I have pushed back with the question of why was this server allowed to
be down for 2 weeks but nobody is answering.
