I have carried out phase 1 import on 350 media, taken about 2 months to carry out. Turn back to the task as another colleague was looking after it. Confirmed that we were ready for phase 2. A few weeks later colleague informs me that no images are available for phase 2. I have been informed that the image cleanup job expires every image that is ready for phase 2 after seven days. Further to this have been informed the the catalog backup does not backup Netbackup\db\images\clientname\ctime\tmp\image. I have tried to recover from a catalog backup but no joy. This Netbackup install is a standalone solution specific to recovery this data. I have been informed that I should use a Noexpire touch file this has its own risks. I thought Netbackup would pickup on the original rentention period during phase and not expire images ready for phase 2.
PLEASE HELP ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Regards
