Hi Paco2000,
OpsCenter keeps HISTORICAL information about jobs, so what you are seeing is to be expected. The basic process is:
Expiring backups from the Catalog and deleting them from storage does not remove the historical record that OpsCenter has captured of this backup. If you don't want to see those backups you have expired, you would need to use a date filter so that they are not included in your report.
OpsCenter does have the ability to purge data, but it is all or nothing. You tell it how long to keep data for, and it purges all data that is older. In my case I need more than a years worth, so I keep data for 420 days. Think of OpsCenter as a kind of audit system for your backups - it keeps a historical record (that cannot be easily tampered with) of most things that go on within your NetBackup envrionment.
Hope this helps,
Steve
