Ok - so I've been working on this issue recently and I'm wondering if
I'm just missing something or not. Whenever a file or Oracle backup
fails the tapes it used remain assigned and the images do not expire
until after their retention expires. So if a 1TB backup runs 24 hours,
then fails on the last kilobyte (for whatever reason) I am out 4 or 5
tapes. This is most annoying! I can't restore this data, so why retain
the images?
1 - is there an easy way to reclaim these tapes. I know I can simply
bpexpdate -m them but its possible to have other data on them (because
of multistreaming.)
PM> You can duplicate the images you want to keep to another tape and
reclaim the tape using bpexpdate.
2 - If I lookup the images on the tapes, can I expire only them and will
NBU then use that space?
PM> No. NetBackup appends to tapes. That is why by default NetBackup
does not mix different image retentions on the same tape.
3 - Can Netbackup do all of this automatically for me?
PM> It already does. NetBackup expires the images based on retention.
PM> It is not unusual to have spare tapes in the event that a tape or
backup fails.
I'm working on other solutions including using checkpoint restart for
file backups but in the mean time, I'm struggling with this.
TIA,
-Jonathan
