Hi Nataras,

What is the exact command you executed?

Remember that the date syntax for bpexpdate is month/day/year:

bpexpdate: -m <media id> -d <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS | 0 | infinity>
            [-host <name>] [-force]
            [-M <master_server,...,master_server>]
bpexpdate: -deassignempty [-m <media id>] [-host <name>] [-force]
            [-M <master_server,...,master_server>]
bpexpdate: -backupid <backup id> -d <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS | 0 | infinity>
            [-client <name>] [-copy <number>] [-force]
            [-M <master_server,...,master_server>]
bpexpdate: -recalculate [-backupid <backup id>] [-copy <number>]
            [-d <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS | 0 | infinity>] [-client <name>]
            [-policy <name>] [-ret <retention level>] [-sched <type>]
            [-M <master_server,...,master_server>]
       legal values for sched: 0=full,1=differential incr,2=user,3=arch
                               4=cumulative incr

Hi,

I used the format

bpexpdate: -recalculate  & also i used the mm/dd/yy format.

Any ideas?

[Chia_Tan_Beng]

Try using bpexpdate without -recalculate

Example:

bpexpdate -backupid <xxxxxxxxx> -d mm/dd/yy

Seems like with -recalculate, the expiration date supplied has to be greater than the current expiration of the media ID.
