Hello, i'm have symantec backup exec 2014. In my policy backup sets must expired through 2 week.
Now status on backup sets is expired, but it not deletes automatically. What the problem?

From the screen shot they all appear to be incremental backup sets. How often does the full run? Are those incremental backup sets still dependent on a full backup possibly? You also may want to confirm you are not experiencing a possible known issue discussed in the following thread:

Is BE 2014 updated with SP1 ? If not, pls download SP1 from this link - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH216178
Do ensure 'Allow Backup Exec to delete all expired backup sets' option is enabled under Configuration & Settings - Backup Exec settings.
If the above doesn't help and if there are no dependent backup sets either, would recommend to log a formal support case.

Only the incremental sets not deleted. Full backup sets already delete automatically. You are right, i have else incremental backup sets, therefore it not deleted, the next incremental depend on it. Thank you.
