I asked the same question yesterday, and the responses were food for thought. If you make backups, you are, almost by definition, unable to perform a full 'Compliance Delete' before the oldest backup in the set has expired. Compliance-based deletion, if it is offered as a service, is almost always something time-based, like "we guarantee the data will be deleted 7 years from now". And then that deliberate deletion step is baked into the backup process. So, i.m.o. at best they misrepresented the nature of the compliance deletion process. It never did what it was designed to do.
