No, the query occupancy numbers will be adjusted after the expiration
process is run...if the backups are actually deleted.  Does the management
class to which the SQL backups are bound have the versions deleted copy
group parameter set to 0 as recommended in the TDP client User's Guide?
If not, then the objects will be retained in the server storage pool until
the retention period (retain only parameter) expires.
