Dears
we have LTO6 tape Dr0195 it has data from dec 2017 but in the media menu time assigned is showing 10 jan2018 how i
can correct this because when searching tape there will be confusion
file attached for reference
Is it possible that backup was done to disk in Dec 2017 and duplicated to tape in Jan 2018?
Please show us output of
bpimagelist -L -backupid <backup_id>
and
nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid <media-id>
Dear Marianne,
Thanks for your response i have attached file output of two command
So, my gutfeel was right - backup (to disk) was done in Dec 2017:
Backup Time: 12/29/2017 6:09:45 PM (1514560185)
Only duplicated to tape in January 2018:
Media Date: 1/10/2018 10:36:47 AM (1515569807)
Copy Creation Time: 1/10/2018 1:36:03 PM (1515580563)
This corresponds with Time Assigned:
Time Assigned: 01/10/2018 10:36
Backup to disk has already expired, only copy 2 is left with INFINITY expiration.
Backup image date remains the date/time of 1st backup copy.
So, absolutely nothing wrong.
Only thing to worry about is - why did it take so long before duplication took place (12 days!)?
Was there a temporary problem with resources at the time?
Or are you still seeing backlogs with SLP duplications?
It's impossible to change the assign time of a tape. It is only deleted when the media expires.
