Are you SURE you want to recalculate expiration dates on all images
that meet the following criteria:
backupid PROD-PCDC_1622446947

  • Hey

    Anything in logs under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/admin/

    ??

    Maybe you will have to change verbose = 5 in bp.conf and do bprdreq -rereadconfig and execute this bpexpdate again

  • hi mdderecho 

    From where are you running the bpexpdate command ?

    Syntax looks correct - it should be working. Is the Netbackup environment running as it should ?

    also create directory /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/admin and see what info that command generate in the directory.

  • hi guys, thanks for helping, Im now able to change the expiration date via master server. Thank you again.
