unless the VTL has the option to "free" the disk space on a schedule, which it sounds like what Stuart is saying about the NetApp.

ie, your tape retention is set to 3 weeks, then your VTL essentially has a 3+ week "time to live" on pointers.

would be kinda scarey if you entended the retention on a tape and your VTL doesn't "get the message".

But in other cases, yes, as you said, even though Netbackup expires a VT, the VTL doesn't know it's "allowed" to delete the pointers for the VT untill NBU does a bplabel on that Cart ID.

Hi Stuart,

In my experience we had to as the “DISK SPACE” was still in use!

Kind Regards,
