- To get more disk space before data lifecycle management expires any backup sets, you can delete unwanted backup sets manually in Backup Exec. Do not use Windows Explorer or a Windows command prompt to delete backup files.
- To prevent data lifecycle management from expiring a backup set, you can manually retain a backup set. Backup Exec automatically retains all dependent backup sets as well. When you no longer want to retain a backup set, you must release it so that data lifecycle management can manage the retention period for it.
- When setting up the schedules for backups in a backup definition, avoid adding many incremental backups between full backups. The data lifecycle management process must search through each backup set to check dependencies; therefore, the more incrementals there are, the longer the DLM process takes.
