Hi all,
is it possible to find out when a specific image(s) was deleted?
Thx
Regards, Martin
My guess is that the backups has expired. From the Netbackup side the tapes will look empty. However the data is still on the tape seen from a magnetic point of view unless tapes has been overwritten with new backups.

Deleted or expired?
Manually or automatic as per retention levels?
If you have bpdbm and/or admin logs on the master server, you may be able to find image expiration entries for as long as logs are kept (default is 28 days).
may be you need to look into to the image clean up logs...
we need to find out when the images were deleted from the nbu catalog manually or by experation because we have written 2 copies to tape and delete the images on disk via vault. now, after we have re-insert the tapes into the tape library the tapes are empty!
I guess that some of my collegues has run the
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid $i -d 0
command and delete so all images on disk and on tapes.
admin log on the master will contain record of all admincmd commands issued manually.
So, admin folder needs to exist in the first place and also needs to be within the period that logs are being kept. The default is 28 days.
Another way to investigate may be 'nbaudit'. I believe it is enabled by default in recent NBU versions, but I do not have 1st-hand experience.
