We had massive problems with BE16 for six months, since July 2017. We use HPE StoreOnce as a dedup location and it uses a OST plugin. We upgraded the plugin and our backup performance dropped through the floor - our jobs kept saying “Loading Media”. Cut a very very long story short, Veritas engineering had to get involved and they built a new DLL, whilst the DLL hadnt gone through any QA we were that desperate we asked for it and applied it, lo and behold backups returned to thier original, if not better, performance.
The reason im posting this as a reply is that part if the issue we had is that none of our expired backupsets never got deleted. Since applying the new DLL our backupsets are being automatically expired and deleted fine.
Apparently the new DLL will be part of the next Feature Pack, but i have no idea when that is going to be released.
