Hi There!

I am really starting to pull my hair out over B2D and System Recovery Backups to Disk.

I seem to always be running out of disk space which means I need to reduce my retention, but when I lower my retention, the old backups don't get cleaned out and the backups fail. 

I would like a simple and foolproof way to be able to identify which files belong to which jobs and remove them in a B2D friendly way. 

Some assistance would be appreciated.

For recovery ponint backups, they can be explored to find out what files are present & older points can be removed...
