I need to free up some tapes, but on these tapes I have images from a policy with a retention of infinity. There may also be some other images from _other_ policies on the tapes which I do not want to remove. I haven't removed/expired any images befo...

I added a standalone drive to my present install(we have a library), and the standalone drive is temporary and we just need to archive some data while not using our normal lto4 drives. Anyway, I kicked off a backup using the standalone drive, but sin...

You have all been a great help. I am expiring my images of the policy from the gui(catalog -> search via policy name, and expiring), and then will see what, if anything, still resides on the tapes and I will handle from there. Thank you all.

Thanks for the responses(and quickly, too!). All of my policies have a retention of infinity(these are one time backups, and the source filesystems are readonly). So, in my example, one policy spans about 15 tapes, and there is only a slight chance t...
