Backup Set On Tape Not Deleted When Expired (Tape Is Full)

Hy Guys,

This is my first Post on SymConnect, I had Symantec Backup Exec 2014 SP 1 Project on 4 Month ago. Let me explain that first :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Sunday - Thursday = Incremental Job : 8 Tape

  • Sunday On Week 1 : Tape 1 ------ Thursday On Week 1 : Tape 4
  • Sunday On Week 2 : Tape 5 ------ Thursday On Week 2 : Tape 8

Media Set is "Incremental Job"

  • Overwrite Protection Period : 8 Days
  • Append Period : Infinite - Allow Append

 

# Friday = Full Backup Job : 4 Tape

  • Week 1 : Tape 1
  • Week 2 : Tape 2
  • Week 3 : Tape 3
  • Week 4 : Tape 4

Media Set is "Full Job"

  • Overwrite Protection Period : 3 Weeks
  • Append Period : Infinite - Allow Append

 

# Job Settings

When The Job Begins : "Append To Media, Overwrite If No Appendable Media Is Available"

Media Overwrite Protection Level :  "Full - Protect allocated and Imported Media"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, My Tape for FullBackup Job Is Full. There are many expired Backup Set still exist on all of my Tape!

Can you tell me Why?

And give me advise, best practice to configure OPP and Append, So when my backup Job Run For the second time with the same tape, the last backup set will be overwriten/replaced with new backup set.

Cheers!
