what is the proper approach to the LONG LONG list of servers in MCRetired - most of mine no longer have any vaild backups here or in the replicated copy, yet they remain in the MCRetired.
Been have issues with some people seeing a server in MCRetired and thinking to goes to the Current server of the same name and thinking I was not backing up their server.
When what happened is we had one, we got rid of it, and somewhere down the line someone made a new server with the same name.
It is such a hassle to clean out MCRetired by hand on both the Live and Replicated Grids.

Hi J.H.
I understand the issue here. Clients under MCRetired need to be removed manually. Sometimes it becomes a bit complicated when we have huge environment. We can use mccli to find the list of clients under MCRetired domain and then we can use mccli backup show command to see all backups for any client. Once we find clients without backup, we can use mccli client delete command to delete them.
From support side we do not have any script to delete such clients , but I will check on this further and will let you if there is any possibility.
