The term obsolete does not mean the same as expired. In short, obsolete means "not needed," whereas expired means "not found."

Obsolete: means the backup piece is still available,but it is no longer needed.It depends on retention policy,i,e.recovery window .

Expired: means the backup piece or backup set is not found in the backup destination.
