We generally backup to disk and retain that information for 1-4 Weeks. After most B2D jobs complete a duplicate job kicks off and duplicates the data to tape to be retained for 1 or 7 years.
My issue: My B2D sets are not all being overwritten or delted even after their retention time has ended. This causes the disk to fill up.
If I try to forcefully delete these expired B2D backup setsfrom the backup sets section of the Administrative console it informs me that "Other backup sets depend on backup set snapshot .." . These dependent jobs are tape duplicate jobs that expire 1 or 7 years later.
Why do my duplicate Tape jobs depend on the B2D jobs? Shouldn't they depend on other tape jobs? If I have a full and incremental on seperate tapes.
Any suggestion would greatly be apreaciatted.
Thanks,
Nima
