Never mind...saw your response on that. :) But I suppose the vendor should have some policy around not easily deletable backups as SOME of their customers may still be using tape.

Do you use tape backups? Would the software vendor require you to remove it from there too? If not, the same could reasonably be said for snapshots as they are part of your backup. You could recover the software from tape as well, correct?

Hi
Nothing sinister - we cancelled some software contract and we need to delete all copies of it. Unfortunately, a copy has been stored on one of
the filers.
