Data Protection for Exchange creates backup objects
not archive objects.

Also.. be careful about deleting Data Protection for Exchange
objects as there are multiple objects per single logical backup.
Unless you know exactly what these are, I would not advise it.

If you cannot wait for retention policy to expire these,
I recommend calling IBM service to help you do this deletion.
If you do not delete all of the objects that are part of the same
logical backup, it can create side effects that may cause problems
for future backups and restores.

Thanks,

Del
