Extend Exp Date on NDMP backups

[nbmagic]

 I have NDMP backups to back up several volumes on a filer, and the retention policy on them are 3 month. Now I need to extend the expiration date on one set of backups which happened say on 6/1? I also use NFS as Storage Unit for NDMP backups.

How could I find out these backup ids using bpimgalist. we are using NFS mount as "storage unit", then use bpexpdata command to extend the expiration date.  Could you please find the details about using bpimagelist and bpexpdate commaind?

Thanks!

Use bpimagelist -help to see different options and switches.

Suggested options to find image id's:

-idonly
-client <client_name>
-policy <policy_name> 
-pt <policy_type>
-d mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS     (Start date)
-e mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS       (End date)

Use bpexpdate to specify new expiration date for each image-id found by above command:

bpexpdate -backupid <backup id> -d <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS>

See NetBackup Commands Reference Guide  for detailed explanation of options.
