This will expire ALL images on a given MEDIAID.
Just as a point of interest, are you compressing your NB database?
There is an option in the global attributes, delay to compress. It by
default is Zero (0) never compress. Typically I tell people to gauge that
based on the restore requests one receives (if I get requests of more than
a week, perhaps I'll set that value to 14 days, etc.)
Good luck
