Backing Up Microsoft Exchange Server Data

Deleting backups
Backups that have no dependencies are deleted without any limitations.
A backup that has dependencies cannot be deleted separately from all its
dependent backups.
To delete a backup with dependencies manually, you should delete the
entire backup chain (a full backup and all its dependent transaction log
backups or incremental backups).
If you set the retention rules to delete backups older than the specified age,
the outdated backup (marked with the icon) will be kept until all
backups that depend on it also become outdated. Then, all the chain will be
deleted at once.
