Greetings-

I have a couple of backup images currently on tape set to expire soon.  Id like to prevent NetBackup from expiring this media/backup images as scheduled.  Ill need to restore from the tape, and I thought that preventing the tape/images from expiring would be easier than importing upon receiving the tape back onsite.

Ive tried to suspend the media, but received the following error:

        Operation to suspend media failed:

                000031: the media is allocated for use(199)

Ive also attempted to extend the expiration date on the media with the following:

        bpexpdate.exe m 000031 d 09/25/2009 23:59:59

                Are you SURE you want to change 000031

                To expire on 9/25/2009 11:59:59 PM y/n (n)? y

                Requested media id is in use, cannot process request

Is the only solution to import the tape back into NetBackup upon physical receipt (after images have expired)?

Thanks!
