change a backupid retention
hi,
i can't change an expire date for a backup ID.
when i typed the command : bpexpdate -backupid backupid_11111111111 -d 12/12/2104, the command passed,
but when i check with bpimagelist -U -backupid backupid_11111111111 i find that the expire date does'nt change !!
i tried to duplicate this image to a tape and give it a time until december, but i can't, i got the error message : it is a life cycle image that cannot be manually duplicate.
could you help me please ?
the Master server is Windows 2008 R2.
netbackup entreprise 7.5.0.5
this backup passed on a DataDomain.
thanks in advance !
You should ALWAYS use bpexpdate -recalculate with a new retetion level or with a new expiration date.
In NetBackup 7.5, if 'bpexpdate -recalculate' is invoked from the command line without the '-d' or '-ret' option, incorrect expiration dates for images may be recalculated, which may lead to early expiration of those images.
