CLI to list savesets

rbrehm

I have over 1PB (logically) of data to review and expire to free up disk on 2 dr-4100s. This is over 50,000 jobs/indicies/etc. The GUI is cumbersome and it will take weeks to go through everything job by job. The load time alone to get to the oldest set is 3-5 minutes (Load more 3 times) and then the list has to refresh once an operation is performed on one or more savesets.

I know that I can input a list of savesets into nvexpiresaveset and have it do the work for me but getting the information is the problem. Is there a CLI option to list savesets from disk storage? All the CLI utilities seem to be geared towards tape media.

    Hi,

    I've looked into this, and I can't see a way to do this outside of just entering alot of the saveset IDs into the command itself. You bring up a good idea though. We should have a feature in "Explore Storage" to be able to filter, then export a list of savesets for disk and tape devices, that way, you can copy that into a batch script and run it to remove the savesets you want in bulk.
    You should however be able to go into "Explore Storage" and ctrl-click all the savesets you want to remove, and then remove them with the "Remove" button at the bottom of the screen. Have you tried doing this?
