Does not work. If you run bpimage -cleanup -allclients it will not clean up
all clients. In fact, it won't do anything - I know because we ran that way
for a while and our catalog grew endlessly.
What you need to do is run bpimage -cleanup -client for each client
individually. I'm not joking - running
-allclients would exit (in a second or two) without doing anything, running
for a single client would produce the expected result. So yes, we had to
write a script that would make a list of clients and run it for each
client...

Sid,
One thing that can cause this behaviour is a very busy backup server. We
have a master server that runs in excess of 7000 jobs a day. Several times a
week we have to run "bpimage -cleanup -allclients". (technote 236274
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/236274.htm ) And we are running
CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND.

Suddenly a few days ago, backupid's just stopped expiring themselves. Hence
I've had to begin (on a semi-daily basis) manually checking/expiring
backupid's which should of themselves have expired naturally.
What could have caused NetBackup to begin skipping this task? And what can I
do to get NetBackup back to handling this task properly?
