Hello,
I am using backup exec 2012 to back up to disk.
I know that there is a system called DLM and it will deleted the expired backup set.
Can I use the command line interface to get the list of which .bkf are going to be deleted by DLM ?
Eg:
B2D000001.bkf (expired)
B2D000002.bkf (expired)
B2D000003.bkf (Not yet expired)
B2D000004.bkf (Not yet expired)
Then i want to get a list which tell me B2D000001.bkf & B2D000002.bkf are going to be deletd.
Thanks!

When the DLM cycle occurs ALL bkf files marked as expired get deleted (unless they have a dependent incremental or differential set, or have been manually protected by the admin) It is not like an overwrite where only 1 piece of media is affected it is a housekpeeing task that identifies all.
I am not aware of a command line tool or report, although I belive you can use the ShowHiddenMedia registry key so that then when you look at the Expired Backup sets you can see the BKF file names.
