Re: [Networker] How to remove oldest data from server

Ah! but there are no dependant savesets as they are all fulls and from the 
manual
"(the browse policy), plus the length of a full backup cycle (one week), 
to ensure that all dependent entries pass their browse policies."

As there are no dependant save sets it should become recyclable after 24 
hours when nsrim is next run.
try running nsrim manually and that might/should mark the older savesets 
as recyclable.
