Extend backup image retention
Hi All,
I need to extend backup images on tapes, however I need to make sure that I am using the right, below are the parameters I will be running.
./bpexpdate -m i012345 - d 03/05/2013 00:00:00 ...
id rl images allocated last updated density kbytes restores vimages expiration last read <------- STATUS -------> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I03297 4 21 03/02/2013 07:46 03/02/2013 08:54 hcart2 66006624 0 21 05/03/2014 10:51 N/A SUSPENDED
You have 21 valid images on media id I03297. The last image written will expire on 05/03/2014 10:51.
If you change expiration date to 05/03/2014 00:00, then all images on I03297 (including spanned images) will get new expiration date/time of 05/03/2014 00:00 - almost 11 hours before original expiration date/time of last image on this tape.
If you run 'Images on media' report, you should get a list of all images on this tape, and also see other tape numbers for images that have spanned media.
