One more thing, the tapes don't return to the Scratch pool instantly.
There's a scheduled process.
If you want to hurry the process run:
bpexpdate -deassignempty -force

You are changing the retention based on the policy. You may have
backups
from other policies on the tape with the 2 year retention.
You may also want to ensure that the tapes "came" from the scratch pool.
They may be showing as not assigned in a pool other than scratch.

Hello
I have a policy with name Users. I now want to change retention to all
tapes
in this policy from 2, to 1 year. (I have a custom retention for 2 years
as
retention level 6)
I used the command:
bpexpdate -policy Users -recalculate -ret 8
Then I get a warning:
Are you SURE you want to recalculate expiration dates on all images that
meet the following criteria:
policy Users
retention will be changed to 8(1 year)
Continue?(y/n)
I answers Yes, and the system seems to process for some minutes.
After this I check if this have moved tapes to Scratch, but no. Beacuse
this
should have realeased a lot of tapes, and moved it to scratch pool.
Is it something I missing here? Do I have to manually change retention
on
every tape?
