NetVault 13.1.2 - Administration Guide

Deleting savesets from disk-based storage devices

Deleting a saveset from a disk-based storage device involves removing its index from the NetVault Database and deleting that backup from the device. You cannot import the deleted backup by scanning the device.

If a backup has any dependent backups, you can choose to do the following:

•

Defer the removal of savesets until all dependent backups are ready for retirement

•

Force immediate removal of the savesets


	IMPORTANT: Regardless of your selection here, if the Retirement Timing Control option for Media Manager is set to Force Always, the savesets are removed immediately. For more information about this global setting, see Configuring retirement rules for dependent backups.

To delete savesets from disk-based storage devices:

In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.

On the Explore Storage page, click Explore Disk Storage. In the repository table, select the device, and click Explore Repository.

To delete multiple savesets:

In the saveset list, select the savesets that you want to delete.

To select consecutive items, hold down the Shift key while clicking with the mouse button; to select non‑consecutive items, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking with the mouse button.

Click Remove Savesets.

In the Remove Saveset dialog box, select the Remove all duplicates associated with selected saveset(s) check box if you also want to remove the Duplicates of the selected savesets.

Under Select removal timing option, specify whether you want to force immediate removal of the savesets or defer the removal until all dependent savesets have reached their retirement date:

•

Mark for removal: Use this option to mark the selected savesets for removal. If no dependent Incremental or Differential Backups exist for a saveset, the saveset is removed immediately. If any dependent Incremental or Differential Backups exist for a saveset, the saveset is removed only after all dependent backups have reached their retirement date.

•

Force immediate removal: Use this option to remove the selected savesets immediately. The dependent Incremental and Differential Backups that exist for the selected savesets are also removed immediately, even if these backups have not reached their retirement date.

Click OK.

To examine a saveset before deleting it:

In the saveset list, select the saveset that you want to delete, and click Examine Saveset.

Deleting savesets from tape-based storage devices

Deleting a saveset from a tape-based storage device essentially involves removing its index from the NetVault Database. You can still scan the media to import the backup index into the NetVault Database, and use the backup.

If a backup has any dependent backups, you can choose do the following:

•

Defer the removal of savesets until all dependent backups are ready for retirement

•

Force immediate removal of the savesets


	IMPORTANT: Regardless of your selection here, if the Retirement Timing Control option for Media Manager is set to Force Always, the savesets are removed immediately. For more information about this global setting, see Configuring retirement rules for dependent backups.

To delete savesets from tape-based storage devices:

In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.

On the Explore Storage page, click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.

In the saveset list, select one or more savesets that you want to delete, and click Remove Savesets.

In the Remove Saveset dialog box, select the Remove all duplicates associated with this saveset check box if you also want to remove the Duplicates of the selected saveset.

About user accounts

The NetVault administrator can set up different user accounts, and assign appropriate privileges, group memberships, and quota to these accounts based on the functions the users need to perform.

For example, the administrator can create a user account for Database Administrator and grant this account the privileges to perform backups and restores of the database systems. Similarly, the administrator can create a user account to manage clients or storage devices.

There are two predefined user accounts in NetVault:

•

admin: The administrator account for NetVault.

•

default: A standard user account that can be used to perform various operations in NetVault.

These user accounts are used to perform various tasks from the NetVault WebUI and CLI. The admin and default user accounts are assigned all privileges in NetVault. By default, no password is assigned to the admin and default user accounts. To prevent unauthorized access to the NetVault Server, you can assign a secure password to these user accounts.


	NOTE: Only the administrator account can create and manage user accounts in NetVault. Non‑administrator user accounts can only change or reset their own passwords.

If your environment uses Active Directory (AD) or Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you can also integrate AD and Azure AD users with NetVault, as well as manage user groups. For more information, see Integrating Active Directory with NetVault and Using Azure Active Directory as an identity provider.
