Backup to disk set to OPP 0 and APP 0 but backup still retains 2 days data
Dear Community,
I am not sure if this is a bug or not.
Scenario:
My backup (Backup vm daily) is set to backup to disk with an OPP and APP of 0 and then upon job completion, it is duplicated...

You should set your Overwrite Protection Level to either Partial or Full. A None setting means that OPP and AP do not apply.
Also, when you change the OPP, the existing media are not deleted, but they are recycled. Hence if you have 3 media you are going to see them in your restore selection screen. What you should do is to start with a clean slate and delete the media using this procedure
1) In the Media tab, move all the media to the Retired media set
2) right-click on the media and select delete. This will delete the media from BE.
3) Use Windows Explorer and delete the media from your disk.
