So I need to change the expiration date on a bunch of images to infinity (for legal reasons). I plan to write a script to parse a text file taken from a catalog search for the backupids of the needed images. I tested out changing the expiration date of an image to infinity manually first. When I ran a bpimagelist and converted the ctime for the expiration date I got back an expiration of “Mon Jan 18 19:14:07 2038.”

 

My question is: Is this is just some random date that NetBackup assigns to images that are never supposed to expire?

 

Below is the bpexpdate command I ran:

 

bpexpdate –backupid pasnas01a_1191283460 –d infinity -force
