vaulting without vault

Try using bpimmedia with -d, -e and -rl parameters to specify the startdate, enddate and retention level respectively. The output would provide the media ID of the retention period you specify.

Hi,

On my Sun master I'm running the following:

#!/bin/ksh
cat ./files/clients.txt | while read a C d e r t y u i
do
echo "Processing $C..."
rm -f ./files/tmp/$C.raw ./files/tmp/$C.vols
bpimagelist -l -hoursago 24 -client $C | grep "^FRAG" > ./files/tmp/$C.raw
cat ./files/tmp/$C.raw | while read L
do
V=`echo $L | cut -d" " -f9`
echo $V >> ./files/tmp/$C.vols
done
sort -u ./files/tmp/$C.vols -o ./files/tmp/$C.vols
echo "$C is on `cat ./files/tmp/$C.vols | wc -l` media."
done
cat ./files/tmp/*.vols > ./files/tmp/allvols
sort -u ./files/tmp/allvols -o ./files/tmp/allvols
echo "Total volumes: `cat ./files/tmp/allvols | wc -l`"
echo "All done."
exit


The clients.txt contains the client list you are interested in.
Hope this help.

Actually,
You CAN use different pools for this. Just create your normal pools for Daily/weekly/monthly etc.
Then create different Disk Staging Storage Units that stage to each of these pools individually.
If you only have 1 disk to stage to, just create 3 folders d:\dailystage, d:\weeklystage, d:\monthlystage.
That way, your operators can just look in each of these pools to know what to eject.
