Old Tape Backups Keep Re-Appearing
I am using build 11010.
I back up to network storage and tape. I find that cleanup of old backups works on the network storage, but no matter what I do, old backups to tape keep re-appearing. It seems to be an issue primarily with backup plans which no longer exist.
If I put the tape in and run an inventory, old backups appear. I have tried fast erasing the tape, moving it to the free tapes pool and refreshing the recovery points for each device, and that seems to update the database so the old backups don't appear, but they reappear any time I inventory the tape drive.
How do I permanently get rid of these old backups? The tape has been overwritten multiple times.
I also find that if I go to Tape Management and select "Show Backups" for the online tape, I can see backups to the device that appears, but if I click on any other devices with backups on the tape, I see a message no backups". I saw another report of this and understood it should be fixed in this build. Any news on that?
