Abstract
Backup metadata deletion based on backup data deletion is described. A system receives a request to delete a backup data set associated with a host, a path, and a backup time. The system identifies a backup metadata object associated with the host and the path. The system determines whether the requested backup time is the earliest backup time associated with any backup data set associated with the host. The system determines whether the identified backup metadata object is a backup metadata deletion object associated with the backup time if the backup time is the earliest backup time. The system deletes the identified backup metadata object if the identified backup metadata object is a backup metadata deletion object associated with the backup time.
