Hello
Using NBU 7.6.1.2 on windows 2008R2.
Running a filesystem backup onto a Advanced disk attached to different media server which is also nbu 7.6.1.2 on windows 2008R2. The backup is successfull. We have a Vault policy to duplicate these backups from Advanced disk to tape. And under duplication policy we have set the option to expire the original disk images (1) hour. Attaching screenshot.
The catalog search seems to be not showing the data from disk but the physical location is not deleting the files event after bpimage cleanup all clients and nbdelete allvolume command execution.
Can anyone suggest what could be the issue.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I think there is no issue. The images are on an advanced disk. You can expire these images. Deleting from Disk is done by advanced disk itself triggered by reaching the high watermark.

Create bpdm log folder on the media server to track image deletion.
The user account used for NBU services on the media server needs to have proper permission to storage location in order to delete images from disk.

"The catalog search seems to be not showing the data "
Does it mean your duplication job did not pick up any image?
I looked at your screenshot, other than the "Location" , you also checked "Attributes", is there anything you include/exclude there? Note that the search will look into the "Attributes" if you select something in there, it's possible not all images will be found for duplication.

Hello Marianne,
The file was there and I have no idea who created it because I looked at the current server for the first time. But I re-tested it again to confirm if NOexpire file did any thing to resolve and it really did that trick.

NoExpire does what the name suggests - it prevents automatic image expiration.
Here is an explanation of the touchfile: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000008058
Because this file only created for a specific purpose, we don't normally even think of asking to check for it.
Anyway - glad that your issue is fixed!!
(I am curious to know if you managed to check the timestamp on the file before deleting it...)
