Legato 7.1.2 issue

[nyck]

Each night I run level 9 backups of my unix servers, these have been working great for the last few months but over the last couple of nights something strange is happening. The level 9 backup runs fine and I get my savegroup and bootstrap but when I unload the tapes I have noticed that one of the tapes that get used has got a one year expiration ( this is being displayed in the volumes window ). The level 9 schedule is only one month, what could be causing this?

Yesterday I ran this in the day time manually and all was fine!

Have a look at the save sets stored on that volume. At least one must have that long retention period. Then investigate why it was saved on that media.

I have run the following command and get the following output:-

mminfo -o e -r 'name,savetime,ssbrowse,ssretent' -q 'volume=ABC000S3'
name date browse retent
/opt 13/11/08 15/12/08 15/12/08

Is there a switch I can add into mminfo so I know which server these mount points come from?

What about extending your command slightly:

mminfo -o e -r 'client,name,savetime,ssbrowse,ssretent' -q 'volume=ABC000S3'

Hello,

I added the client bit and discovered which server was causing the issue and have now got all working fine again. The annoying thing is that I checked all the clients within nwadmin and just did not see the issue!
