Why Aren't My Backups Deleted Based on the Retention Rule?
- The policy was enabled and then disabled. In this case, if the retention type is time-based, the retention rule still takes effect, and backups will be deleted based on the defined retention period. If the retention type is quantity-based, backups will not be deleted.
- The policy's retention rule was changed during backup execution. For details, see Why Isn't the New Retention Rule Being Applied?
- The backups were created manually. The policy's retention rule does not apply to manual backups. They must be deleted manually.
