Retention policy to manage retention of obsolete backup image sets

Summary

The number of ActiveImage Protector's backup image set counts up according to the number of the created base image files.

As a result, when a first baseline (full) and recurring incremental backup tasks are scheduled to run subsequently, the second or subsequent base backup image file is no more created. As a result, since the number of backup image sets does not increase, Retention Policy does not function to delete obsolete backup images.

In order to automatically delete obsolete backup image set, a base (full) backup task has to be regularly scheduled.
