Dear All,
Please advise.. Our some of the big size backup's taking 18 hours to
complete and these backups spans to 4-5 Tapes.
The issue is all the Backup (4-5) Tapes have different expiration time.
Assume my backup start at 01:00 am and it takes 18 hours to complete. I

If the intent is to re-use the same set of tapes, you'd could either set
the retention period to something less than 3 weeks (e.g. 19 days) or
manually expire the images on the tapes prior starting the next backup.
The later could be done using a combination of the 'bpexpdate' and
'vmquery'
Actually ignore the vmquery ... portion below. Forgot this is has been
depricated in current releases and is handled by the bpexpdate utility.
