NB command to display expirations of all backup copies
Created: 23 Sep 2010 | 5 comments
Is the a NB 6.5.x command to display expirations of all backup copies ?
We have Solaris clients with file system backups configured to go to local disk (retention 4 weeks), then duplicate the backups to a remote disk (retention 4 weeks), and then archive the remote backups to tape (retention 1 year).
We're looking for an easy way to list the backup image assigned retentions and upcoming expiration date for selected clients.
Thanks for any ideas on how to do this

bpimagelist
bpimagelist can do the job (as well ??)
bpimagelist will list all information about the backup including the experation of each backup

Look for field 17 in the FRAG entry.

command(s) to list all 3 expirations of a backup
I've tried different options of both of the commands bpimagelist and bpimmedia but have not been able to list the 3 expirations of a selected backup and all 3 of the backup copies.
The commands and combination of options I've run only return the expiration of the original backup to local disk, and not the exipiration of the remote duplication to disk, or the expiration of the remote duplication to tape.
I'm looking for a command or combination of commands to list all 3 expirations.
As always, thanks for everyone's help
Post imagelist output
Redirect the the output from bpimagelist to a file and post.
Are you using Storage Lifecycle Policy's to do the duplication ?

bpimmedia -L is what you
bpimmedia -L is what you want.
Also bpimagelist -L can do your work.
