Thanks!  The combination of those two seems to work perfectly.  I'll do some
more testing with it to make sure, but I think I can use this to do exactly
what I wanted in production.


In case anyone wants to do something like this, here's a hacked together
batch file using the ported unix utilites from
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/.  This is for 7.1.2, not sure if there's
any differences in mminfo output between versions.  If there are, the gawk
may need to be changed to a different field.


mminfo -av VolumeName | grep " cE " %TEMP%\cleanup.txt | gawk {print$8} >
%TEMP%\cleanup.txt for /F %%s in (%TEMP%\cleanup.txt) do nsrmm -d -y -S %%s
nsrstage -C -V "VolumeName"


The basic function is to retrieve a list of expired savesets from a volume,
delete them, then clean the volume with nsrstage.  It's very basic, could
probably be done more efficiently, and I need to add error trapping into it,
but it's a decent starting place.

No, it doesn't - not until NetWorker does a volume clean operation or
you explicitly invoke one via:

nsrstage -C -V "Volume Label"
