expir_period

This parameter specifies the expiration period for the tape volumes.

expir_period = <days>
         

Default value: 30

Required values: indicate the period (in days) for which the tapes to be used for the backup should be locked by entering a whole number.

Before BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE start the backup to a volume, the system checks whether the expiration period set by expir_period for this volume has expired.
