Expired backup sets not deleted
Anybody solved that problem with Expired backup sets? I can see them expired, Allow Backup Exec to delete all expired backup sets is enabled, but BE does not delete them even when there is no disk space on storage. I saw some other posts but are few month old... Besides with no solution
Sorry but BEDB mainteneance has NOTHING to do with when backup sets are deleted (reclaimed).
As long as not using removable media (typically RDX), DLM reclaim activity against expired sets is attenpted by default every 4 hours (BE 2012/2014) or 1 hour BE 15 and is a recurring process where the timings start on the BEserver service startup.
On RDX the DLM relaims take place at the start of each job that writes to the cartridge
