You can change the expiring of tapes by backup id using the following
commands:

 

bpimagelist -l -d mm/dd/yy -e mm/dd/yy | grep IMAGE | awk '{print
"bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid " $6 " -ret 9 < yes"}' >
command_script_to_run

 

you need to create a file called yes with one line with the word y.
This is required because bpimagelist prompt for a yes.

 

The -ret 9 is to set the backup to infinite.  This command will set the
backup to infinite regardless of how many tapes the image is on.

 

Regards,

Ken

We have just shut down one datacenter and we are moving the backup
server and tapes to a separate location.  Is there an easy way to set
all the tapes by media_id to infinite with just one running of the
command instead of listing every single media_id?  Thanks.
