Babu007 For me it looks like the other backups were created before the policy was in place. My suggestion would be, if you do not need them anymore, to remove them manually and very your policy with the upcoming backups.

I hope that helps

Cheers

    Hi Rolf-42,

    Thanks for replying. I had created the policy on the beginning of the DPM deployment.  So all backup has been performed under same policy.

      Hello Babu007
      I have no DPM system to test it myself but maybe this script here is of any help: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/DPM-2012-R2-Remove-6167f338
      Please be aware that the Technet Gallery will be retired. So I suggest to grab all the scripts regarding DPM from that author quickly.
      I hope that helps

      Cheers
      Rolf
