The backup regime properties include the name of
the computer being backed up, the minimum number of days to keep
backups, and whether or not the backups are scheduled.
Incremental and baseline images are deleted as a
set, so a particular backup image may not be deleted immediately
after the minimum number of days to keep it has expired. A backup
image is not deleted until all dependent images are deleted.
If you have a baseline image, and several
incremental images that rely on the baseline, nothing is deleted
until the most recent incremental backup is older than the
specified minimum number of days to keep backups. Once the most
recent incremental backup passes the minimum number of days, the
entire set of backups (baseline image and all dependent incremental
images) is deleted.
