Hi.
You are most probably saying the same thing with different words. You say
images , he says session.
You can change the expiration date of an image with bpexpdate, and this will
most probably change the expiration date of the whole tape(s).
Dont forget that you can have many images on a tape that have run on
different days. The tape will expire when ALL the images on the tape expire.
So you might have a backup that ran on 1/1/2006 with 2 weeks retension and a
second backup that ran on 8/1/2006 with the same retension. The fisrt backup
will expire on 14/1/2006 but the tape will expire on 21/1/2006.
bpexpdate will show the date that the TAPE will expire, but you may have
many images on the tape that will expire before this. You can see when the
images on a tape expire from the "Images on Media" report.
Regards,
Jim

Subject: [Veritas-bu] URGENT CLARIFITION -= Help
Guys
I wonder if you can help clarify something for me................
I have been asked to ensure a backup SESSION does not expire on the 17th Jan
06 - Today is the 13th Jan 06
Now, when I checked this policy, there are 2 tapes in a volume pool - the
guy asking me the question keeps referring to retaining a SESSION !!! Now, I
can see the tape is due to expire in 2 weeks time, but this is not
acceptable!
Is it possible, he is seeing something different to what I am? He truly
beleives that a backup will expire on the 17th!
I checked BPEXPDATE and you can specify a date for media and / or backup id
- I wonder if backup id is related to images?
Can I have an image that will expire BEFORE a tape? I guess it could?? If I
could have clarification, would truly apprecaite it
