Avy,

I have followed your thread for a while, there may be more depth to your
question, but I will take a shot...

"How long" data is stored is determined by your retention policies.  The
files should be "deleted" and the space reclaimed upon expiration,
unless the file is in an archive copy group, or is being held, or has
subfiles that have not expired...it can get a bit convoluted.

Here is a  link to the reference:

If you need more control, then you may need to build/modify a policy.

If the issue is the filling of tapes, it may be time to explain to all
of your end users the difference between backup and archive (we call it
our "tough love" discussion around here).  I wrote a white paper on that
for one of our municipal clients last year, I can dig it out and send it
to you, if you think it would be useful.

If that missed your question, zap me a note or post back to the list...
