[Veritas-bu] bpimport - Phase I Issue

[Marianne Van Den Berg]

I humbly disagree. Phase 1 creates the header file under client's images folder. This is where the expiration date lives.
Phase 2 creates the .f info.

Phase 1 import has nothing to do with image expiration.

 

It is not an image until phase 2 has been done and the image file has
been created in the netbackup/db/images directory.

All,

 

I've been importing several hundred media for a big restore job, and
something funny has happened to many of my media.  Before starting the
import I switched all my retentions on the import server to infinity.
Then I imported all the media.  Now it appears that only some of the
images are available.  When I run the following command on any given
media:

 

bpimport -PM -s 01/01/1971 00:00:00 -e 09/20/2009 23:59:59 -id IN2233 

 

I get several of the following errors:

 

INF - Skipping backup id <Exchange Cluster Name>_1104559223, it is
expired

 

Is this image really expired?  I seem to remember something about Phase
I imports only lasting 7 days, but I thought setting all the retention
periods to infinity would help with that.  My next step is to re-import
the same media and see if I can restore then.  Anyone run into this
before?  I've run the same command against media that I've scanned just
a few days ago and I've got the same issue.  I'm not really sure where
to go with this one.

 

Thanks,

 

-Jonathan
