Removing File from Backups per Legal Order
Is there a way to extract a file from backup sets permanently? I don't want to be able to recover the file ever but can't lose the older backups.
You should figure out from your legal team, what are the true reasons for WHY you retain all of your backups. More often than not, people confuse backup with archive. Of which, BackupExec is for one, and not the other.
The fact that you retain your backups for a long period of time, means you're keeping an archive. You should find out the real reasons for this, and use the appropriate applications for it.
