    My 2 cents....

    You can use nbauditreport command to check this out....

    here is from my test made just now

    root on server:/root $ bpexpdate -backupid server_1686044078 -d 0 -force
    root on server:/root $ nbauditreport |grep -i expir
    06/06/2023 04:35:25 root@server Catalog Image 'server_1686044078' expired.

        Hi Nicolai

        As I did understand request from Prageethh "expiration activity (Manually)" - question is about manual expiration... until I am wrong ;)

  • Yes, it is in theory possible to see what images are expired and removed with the right debug level, and enough disk space. But it is not straight job.

    I think, it would be better to dump the output from bpimagelist into text file(s) at various point in times, to captur expiration information before the image actual get expired.

    Or trust Netbackup, if a backup image isn't available, the backup is not taken or it's expired.

      Hi prageethh 

      If you have Ops Center collecting data, you should be able to extract the data from there also (you may need to craft a custom SQL script to do this).
