Images available for expiration on Temporary DSU

I found the command a couple of weeks ago somewhere on this forum and for the life of me I cannot find it again... Does anyone know the command to run against a temporary staging storage unit to find out which images have already been duplicated and are candidates for deletion if required by the high water mark.

 

Thanks

  • Dion,

     

    I couldn't find the thread you're talking about but I believe you just need to run a `find` against files ending with the ".ds" extension to determine your candidates.

     

    A search on this forum using "DS" brings up a few messages from Bob Stump talking about how to manually bpexpdate what you find.  I hope this puts you in the right direction!

     

     

  • Unless I'm losing it a bit I was certain there was a NetBackup command that did this but I have not issues working with find.

     

    Thanks a lot

  • bpduplicate -p will give you a list of all the images and how many copies you have of them is that what you are talking about?
