another backup quick question

Hi

What does Backup set expiry do? Apart from mark the set as "Not being allowed to restore", does it delete the file?

cheers

If you're backing up to tape it sets the date the backup expires so the tape can be overwritten on the next cycle.

I personally recommend you back up to disk, then back up those disk files to tape along with your regular network backup.
