Change retention in all tapes in a policy

Oyvind_Sonderby

Hello

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?
