Hi,

We are running NetBackup 5.0 MP7 and it has been having problems 
cleaning up the old/expired backups. I looked around and people 
suggested using the following to address the issue:

# touch /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimage -cleanup -allclients

I also saw people using "bpexpdate -deassignempty -force".

Since our backups run 24x7 CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND may not find a window to 
run at all. So I am thinking to schedule a cron job to run 'bpimage 
-cleanup -allclients' daily. My questions is: will "bpimage -cleanup 
-allclients" clean up all the old/expired backups which in our case are 
disk-to-disk backups on several different media servers?

Thanks,

Rongsheng
