Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media and image expiration

Greetings,

It looks like a problem with the tir_info files came up when the
database filled up.  To free up space I ran the report to show me images
on media and then expired a bunch of the older incremental images.  This
freed up some space, but not much.  It looks like I'm going to have to
wipe out the tir_info files and run some new full backups.  

The media that were associated with these images have not expired and
gone into the scratch pool.  The reports show they have no images on
them but they still show they don't expire until the regular expiration
date.  I know that I can bpexpdate them, but the problem is I didn't pay
attention to the labels on the big batch that was run a few days ago.
Is there a way to tell the database to expire  tapes if they don't have
any images on them if I don't know the barcode label.

This is NB5.1 mp4 running on hpux 11.11.

Thanks,

Jeff
