Acronis 12.5 - Backup retention Rule for Tape -Only Mark for deltion

Thread needs solution

Hi All ,

I am new to tape backup .

Am struggling with Acronis Backup Clean up Rule ,where backup is running on HP Autoloader tape .

I have 7 tapes for 7 Days and running Full Backup in the evening .

I set the rule that keep only last 10 days Backup.But it's not deleting more than 10 days backup it's just marked for deletion .

As per acronis  support ,it will only mark for deletion as soon tape is full , it will over ride on existing backups files which is marked for deletion .

is this correct ? . Please advise .

Hello Muthuraj,

thanks for posting on Acronis forums!

As per acronis  support ,it will only mark for deletion as soon tape is full , it will over ride on existing backups files which is marked for deletion .

Backups on tape are marked for deletion according to your retention rules. This tape will be overwritten only when all backups on it are marked for deletion AND there are no backups on other tapes that have dependencies on backups from this tape.
