I would guess that your policy settings are set up in such a way that those incrementals are still being retained. >From the policy section in the User's Guide: ----- Incremental backups are always uniquely named. As a result, incremental backups do not participate in expirations (due to version limit) because there is never more than one version of an incremental backup object. However, all backup objects for an Exchange Server storage group are inactivated when a new full backup of that Exchange Server storage group is performed. Therefore, the retention period set in the Retain Only Version parameter controls the expiration of incremental backup objects. Take a look at your policy settings. I hope this helps.
