Hello,
this is a known defect with the client described by apar IC48729.
The client GUI will not display inactive directories in the
backup delete window. There is no fix available yet.
In the meantime, you can use the command line to delete the
inactive directory and its files, i.e,
    dsmc delete backup ...etc
It works with the command line, just not with the GUI.
Hope this helps !

Hi,

I am hoping to use 'Delete Backup Data' function of a 5.3.4 client
(Server version 5.2.6.4). I have a large folder (150gb) that was renamed
and, consequently backed up again with a different name and the original
marked inactive - when this occured the client version was 5.2.3.11.
When I browse 'Delete Inactive Objects' I don't see this inactive folder
and its contents. Is this because the backup and inactivation was done
using a 5.2.x client? Is there another way round this - if I create a
management class with 0 value retention won't I need to restore the
inactive data in order to rebind it to the new mgmclass?

Any help appreciated.
