Netbackup Disk stage and Tape Retensions and clearing images

Panther
Level 2
HI,

I have netbackup where my server stages all the backups to my san and the during the day it sends the backups over to tape.

Currently it leaves the images on the server that have been moved to tape for two weeks but i want it so that it goes to the disk stu then during the day it goes to tape and has a retension of 2 weeks on tape, but it deletes the off the disk stu`s

How is this possible.

It is normal for the image to stay on the staginging unit. This allows for faster restores. If more room is required to do additional backups then it will automatically start removal of the oldest images that have been migrated to tape. That is normal why do you want to intervene?
