    There is no "Media" to view from the dedupe drive.

    Backup set = media when it comes to on disk media in BE 2012. If the backup set spans multiple media and the set is deleted, all the media for the set is deleted. There is no appending to disk media anymore.

    When Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) receives a call to perform a delete on a backup set, the media associated with the backup set is deleted.

    Once the set has been deleted from the Backup Exec user interface, they are gone and DLM will finish cleaning up at its next scheduled maintenance run.

    For dedupe, because the "media" isn't directly available from the hard drive, it may appear that no space will be reclaimed.

    With dedupe, the deletes received by DLM are logged in the queue for dedupe to process at its next scheduled maintenance time. Then garabage collection will complete the cleanup process at the begining of the following week on Sunday.
