I need a solution
It appears that with BE 2014, we can no longer delete backups which exist on tape media.
Under Backup Sets, we used to be able to right click on a backup and select delete. With BE 2014, the delete option is no longer available. In addition, for a tape backup, we no longer appear to have options to reset the expiration date, select retain or to expire the backup -- these options are grayed out.
How are we no supposed to delete tape backups? In our case, we have a truck load of old backups on tapes from older no longer existing tape drives. The new drives can read the tapes, but not write to them. How do we get rid of these backups? Hopefully I'm missing something here.
Please Symantec bring back the delete option!
