Manually expiring tapes
NBU - 7.1 Capacity OS - W2K8R2 I implemented a new Vault process for this past weekend, but forgot to take into account the max number of copies setting. So, the process didn't collect and duplicate all backup jobs. I've increased the max copy setting, and I'm re-running the vault policy manually, but I'd really like to expire the tapes that went over the weekend, so I can reuse them, instead of having "wasted" tapes for a year. I looked in the NBU Admin Guide, and found how to expire backup jobs, but that doesn't cover the tapes.Solved17KViews1like7Comments
