Removing Recovery Points in Rapid Recovery 6 (4036117)

This article serves as a how-to guide for users attempting to delete recovery points for a particular machine from a repository.

When you delete recovery points in Rapid Recovery, you can specify one of the following options:

• Delete All Recovery Points – Removes all recovery points for the selected agent machine from the Repository.
• Delete a Range of Recovery Points – Removes all recovery points in a specified range.  This task is performed by doing the equivalent of a roll up which keeps the integrity of recovery point chains.  This means that the base image may be kept and incremental recovery points rolled into it depending on the range selected.  If all recovery points are included in the date range selected for deletion, all recovery points will be deleted. This option is best used when trying to reduce the number of backups that are stored in the repository without deleting all recovery points. 

NOTE: You cannot recover the recovery points you have deleted.

To remove recovery points, complete the following steps.

1. In the left navigation area of the Rapid Recovery Core Console, select the machine for which you want to view recovery points, and then click the Recovery Points tab.

2. Click the Actions menu.

3. Select one of the following options:

• To delete all currently stored recovery points, click Delete All.
• To delete a set of recovery points in a specific data range, click Delete Range. The Delete dialog box displays. In the Delete Range dialog box, specify the range of recovery points you want to delete using a start date and time and an end date and time. The table will list the volumes protected within the specified range; select which volumes should be deleted. Last, click the Delete button.
