Change tape Expiration Date

[AVLoki]

Hi all,

In a GFS tape job, i actually have a tape media whose expiration date is 3 days later (more or less) than the scheduled backup date.
Is there any way to change this tape media expiration date in order to have the job started on the scheduled day?

Or shall i erase the tape and add back to the job as a new tape, then use it?

Hello AVLoki,

You can change the retention in the media pool properties but it will affect all the tapes in the media pool.

Or shall i erase the tape and add back to the job as a new tape, then use it?

That looks like the best workaround. Cheers!
