Stop expiring backup

Hi Team

Team has run bpexpdate command by mistake on some set of backupids to expire images and immediately team has created touch file "Noexpire" in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin

I can still see backupids in catalog in GUI...

I want to stop expiring these images. How can we check these backupids are going to expire and how we can stop expinig these images once i remove Noexpire file..

Please help

      Actually ..

      You could try ...

      bpexpdate -extend_expired -backupid <backupid> -d <date in future to extend to>

      I always forget about the extend_expired option.  I think this came in at 7.7.2 via an EEB, but is there by default on 7.7.3.
