Hi All
Recently I have taken a full backup in a disk and duplicated it to tape through SLP with a retention of 2 yrs. While checking the retention level with bpimagelist, it shows the retention of a primary copy not the duplicated copy.
Anyone has any idea how to check the retention of image for the duplicated copy via command.
Netbackup Master : 7.1.02
OS : Solaris 10
Thanks in Advance

Use bpimagelist with -idonly option to get image id.
You can use bpimagelist as follows to get all retention levels:
bpimagelist -backupid <backup_id> -L

use bpexpdate with copy option to extend the duplicated copy. If the duplication went to tape then just extend the tape expiration for 2 years
bpexpdate -m <media-id>
Edit: I misread your question. The duplication went to tape. To check the retetion of the tape use below command
bpmedialist -m <tape number>

Actually duplication retention is what you configured in SLP and no need to check The SLP will remain on disk with infinity retention unless it get duplicated and SLP will make sure data is get duplicated.

A similar command is bpimmedia -client clientname -d 03/23/2013 00:00:00 -e 03/24/2013 00:00:00
This gives a start and end date - but remember that duplicates take the time and date of the original backup and not that of when it was actually duplicated
Hope this helps

@Mark_Solutions , you are also correct :) i used -U / -L to get more readable format
