Hi Dean
But it is not the easiest method to fix the minor error. The tapes are OK,
the data / images are ok - bpexpdate is the fastest way - there are more
than just one tape to duplicate.
 
Thanks anyhow :-)

Simon,
 
Bob already mentioned the easiest way to fix this. Just duplicate the images
to the pool you want them in, then expire the original copy of those images.
(bpexpdate -backupid xxxxx  -d 0 -copy 1)
 
Cheers,
Dean

But why bother?? That's a lot of effort to move tapes - they may as well
stay where they are, and increase the expiry time :-) 

I just wanted to be sure there was no "easy" method to do this!
Thanks

Actually

You can completely move a media to a new pool.  You would need to involve
VERITAS tech support or consulting since the mediaDB entry must be deleted
and the only way to add it back is to use engineering tools that tech 
support and consulting will not give out (NBCC - NetBackup
Catalog Check and mediadbadd).   VERITAS consulting has a great service
that will use NBCC to validate all of your catalogs, do any moves and
clean up any inconsistencies. 

As mentioned before you would also need to unassign the media, move to a new
pool and then reassign the media.

Dave
That is EXACTLY what I told them!! (people who know better!!)

Sure this was the case, but my understanding is this:

1) When a Media ID (or volume if you want to call it that) is assigned to a 
Volume Pool, its stuck there
2) The Volume will STAY here until its expired or manually expired or
deassigned
3) There are valid images on the media - trying to deassign could lose them
(or cause issues)
4) Should plan better when using Volume Poole

Any comments welcome

I don't think you can change volume pools of a tape if it has images on it. 
It normally needs to be expired first, which of course will mean it can be
re-used.
