Expiring the image with DSSU
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 4 comments
Is it possible to expire the backup image immediately ater copying it to the tape post staging using DSSU ? If so how.
I am aware of changing the water-mark settings. Any other direct method to achieve the same ?
Thanks,
Ash

as far as I know you can
as far as I know you can achieve this by configuring Storage LifeCycle Policy.
below mentioned details are from the NBU Admin Guide I - page #258
Retention type: Expire after duplication
The Expire after duplication retention applies only to backup destinations, not duplication destinations. When data is staged to a tape device, two retention options are available:
■ Staged capacity managed
■ Expire after duplication
for more information, refer to the Storage units, unit groups, and lifecycle policies chapter from NBU Admin Guide I

/usr/local/bin/ls -1 *ds* |
/usr/local/bin/ls -1 *ds* | sed -e "s/\([^_]*_[^_]*\)\(.*\)/\1/" | uniq >> /tmp/worklist--DSSU
for I in `cat /tmp/worklist--DSSU` ; do echo $I ; /opt/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimage -deletecopy 1 -backupid $I ; done
do you need to expire the images?
It shouldn't be necessary to manually expire the images. NetBackup will do that for you and you can benefit by having the images readily available for restores from disk.
