Description
This command deletes a given backup set.
When the backup set to be deleted contains archived data, the command asks the user to confirm the deletion. This prevents the user from accidentally removing backup sets that may have archive jobs. If you want to skip the confirmation prompt, you can use the "-skc" option.
Upon successful completion, the qdelete backupset command displays the message "Deleted backupset successfully" on the command prompt. In case of an error, an error code and description are displayed as: "backupset: Error errorcode: errordescription"
