So I need to change the expiration date on a bunch of
images to infinity (for legal reasons). I plan to write a script to parse a
text file taken from a catalog search for the backupids of the needed images. I
tested out changing the expiration date of an image to infinity manually first.
When I ran a bpimagelist and converted the ctime for the expiration date I got
back an expiration of “Mon Jan 18 19:14:07 2038.”
My question is: Is this is just some random date that
NetBackup assigns to images that are never supposed to expire?
Below is the bpexpdate command I ran:
bpexpdate –backupid pasnas01a_1191283460 –d infinity
-force
