Hey all ,

I need an easier way to recalculate retention level for backups , right now i am doing this

but i have to do this on every single image , i have many of them , is there an easier way to run this againest multiples . I am not good with scripts either but if someone could post a script i can use that would be greate and i can run it . i have NBU 6.5 and Solaris 10 .

    bpexpdate -recalculate -policy <policy name> -client <client name> -d <date>
    Will address ALL backup images witten by the policy specified, for the specified client name (or omit for all clients)

    -help
    returns the options where you can filter by schedule type (Full, user, incremental, etc etc) and other nifty stuff.
