It would be far better to do a catalog search for the images in question and 
have netbackup expire them immediately. Manually deleting the image files (even 
if they will expire in a few days) can have unintended consequences especially 
for catalog consistancy. Once the images are expired, NetBackup (if you're 
using 6.x anyways) should immediately launch an Image Cleanup job to delete the 
expired images. If you're using NetBackup 5.x they should be deleted after 
midnight (I believe that's when it does its cleanup).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Disc Staging Area Full


A couple of weeks ago I had a synthetic backups snafu (which is fixed now) that 
meant it started doing a big differential dump to our disc staging area.

Like I said, snafu fixed, but images still there - and while due to expire in 
next day or two, I've run out of space now.

Can I safely delete these images manually?
