We are running Vault under FP3 and using tape duplication to move a copy offsite while maintaining a readily accessible original for restores. The retention on the local original is one week and the offsite duplicate is changed to 1 month. However, the media does not seem to expire and become available to the system. We do not have the system expire the media after x hours ( a vault parameter) because we thought the retention time would take care of that and the media would become available once the retention period ended. What is the problem??
 
Do you have your backup setup to use multiple retention periods per tape?
 
No,each pool uses only one retention period. Three different pools for daily, weekly, monthly.
 
What is the output of bpmedialist command for these tapes?
Run this command against each media server.
