I have a policy with name Users. I now want to change retention to all tapes in this policy from 2, to 1 year. (I have a custom retention for 2 years as retention level 6)
I used the command: bpexpdate -policy Users -recalculate -ret 8
Then I get a warning: Are you SURE you want to recalculate expiration dates on all images that meet the following criteria: policy Users retention will be changed to 8(1 year)
Continue?(y/n)
I answers Yes, and the system seems to process for some minutes.
After this I check if this have moved tapes to Scratch, but no. Beacuse this should have realeased a lot of tapes, and moved it to scratch pool.
Is it something I missing here? Do I have to manually change retention on every tape?
