Thanks for the reply.

Do you mean each tape by hand? I've changed the policy to use the new
retention period, but none of the old tapes
using that policy changed retention periods :-/

You could always change each policy manually via the Veritas NetBackup
GUI.

Unless I have > 100 policies, I prefer to check and change by hand.

I'm hoping one of you might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong.=20

We currently have a policy with an retention level of infinity (9). We
want to change this to 68 weeks.=20

In bpadm I've set retention level 10 to 68 weeks, changed the foobar
policy to use level 10. Now I want to change all=20
the tapes/images in foobar's volume pool to 68 weeks. I ran the
following:=20

sudo bpexpdate -recalculate -policy foobar -ret 10=20

But when I run the  bpmedialist or available_media commands, everything
is still showing up as=20
retention level 9. Any ideas how I can set these tapes to a 68 week
retention period?=20

Thanks.=20
