Actually I stumbled across the gui expire function and used that. All the info on the gui was correct, pointing to the correct tape and copy etc.. After a little more poking around, I see that even after it said that it was expired after refreshing the gui the it did change the expire date and everything else is still there. I then tried to change the volume pool back to scratch using the gui again with the Media Managers change function and it gave the following: "Could not change media ID 001323: cannot change volume pool for assigned volume (91) Any suggestions how to get this tape back to the scratch volume pool?

The reason i think this has happened is as the message suggests it already has 2 copies as you did a successfully duplication. Did you use the -copy flag on the bpexpdate command to expire your copy?# Dave BeDour, Wayne wrote: > > Just to answer my own question.
