Re: [Veritas-bu] Change retention in all tapes in a policy

I went thru a time of changing retention length on some old backups in
5.1MP6 and it sounds similar to what happened to me.
I changed the retention period on the backup images and they expired and
deleted the images. Well the tapes seem not to clear up. I let them
sit for the day, and the system cleaned up most of the tapes, but there
was still a few tapes that had no images that were not cleaned up.
So, I just verified there was no image with bpimmedia and I ran
bpexpdate on the media that was empty.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Change retention in all tapes in a policy
Hello
I have now tried this. But still same problem.
I have checked one tape with label 393. This tape contains images from
two policies. Both of these policies had 2 years retention before, but
now have 1 year retention.
I hoped this tape would be moved to sratch pool, but is not. The taped
was last written to 21.09.2006. This is over 1 year ago. This tape (and
all the others that previously was with 2 year retention) still is
marked as retention code 8.
This two policies have a tried to use:
- bpexpdate -policy <policy> -recalculate -ret 8
But they are still marked with custom retention 6 (2 years)
