Deleting a backup set

Managing backup sets : Deleting backup sets and backup set data : Deleting a backup set

You can delete a backup set and all its associated data in online storage and the instant recovery vault (if applicable).

NOTE: You can also delete a backup set that is marked incomplete in its initial backup status. For more information, see “Monitoring the status of an initial backup set”.

To delete a backup set:

1. Browse the Backup Sets tree, select the backup set you want to delete.

2. On the Sets menu, click Delete and then Remove Backup Set.

3. Select the required options:

• Move to BLM

• Use new archive package

• Session Label

These options are only available when BLM has been enabled as a DS-Tool for DS-Client. For DS-Client to complete the above BLM requests, BLM must also be registered with DS-System. For details on these options, see the online help for the dialog box.
