Hello All,
I have been using the Exchange Agent to backup my IS and DS for some time
now. I recently re-read the book and they state that you should create a new
management class with a version deleted parameter set to 0. This was so when
you delete the IS and or DS backup from the GUI it was actually deleted from
the database and storage pools. When I first setup the Exchange Agent I just
used the default management class for it's policy domain which had version
deleted set to 1 and retain last set to 365 days. Well I noticed by using
the SQL interface that I now have 106 copies of my DS and 99 copies of my IS
in each of my three storage pools (primary, copy, and dr). It's totals
almost 600GB of stuff that I don't want. So what I did was change the
default mc to version deleted 0 and deleted the DS from the admin interface.
Then I ran a expire inventory. After it was complete, much to my dismay, the
106 copies of the DS were still there. They were not listed in the admin
interface anymore though but were still listed through a SQL Query. How can
I get rid of these extra copies?

Thanks in advance,
