Expiration on INFINITY issue.

[D--ops]

HI,

My setup is:

NetBackup 6.0mp4 running on linux enterprise 4.4 32bit.

I got this error message for the first time on a restore job that was archive 10 day ago.

Message: arning bprd (pid=31736) Restore must be resumed prior to first image expiration on INFINITY
Now I did some research but to no avail.

Can someone please enlight me on  troubleshooting this issue as the restore is still important and I'd like to have some answers for my coworkers.

Regards Dany.

...and another stating that it is an informational message and has nothing to do with errors or not:

So, in your case, it is simply NetBackup warning you that you have until INFINITY, after which you won't be able to perform the restore again.

It would be better if the message was "You have until <datetime>, when this image expires, after which you will not be able to restore contents again.".  And, even better, if a message wasn't generated at all for "infinite" images.
