Hey

Anything in logs under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/admin/

??

Maybe you will have to change verbose = 5 in bp.conf and do bprdreq -rereadconfig and execute this bpexpdate again

hi @mdderecho 

From where are you running the bpexpdate command ?

Syntax looks correct - it should be working. Is the Netbackup environment running as it should ?

also create directory /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/admin and see what info that command generate in the directory.

Hi

Hmmm this log is too short... but it does not look good. please provide more. Also I would look into bpdbm logs and bprd to check out there...

Also it would not harm to run nbcc in order to check catalog consistency.

Try checking if NBDB is up and running using nbdb -ping
