You can specify several space-separated numbers to delete multiple recovery points with a single command. |
-time |
Use this option to delete a chain of recovery points.
Optional. To delete a single recovery point, select the recovery point by its creation time. Specify the exact time in the format "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt" (for example, "2/24/2012 09:00 AM"). Keep in mind to specify date and time values of the time zone set on your computer.
Required. For a date range, specify a time interval using two time strings separated by coma and space to select the range of recovery points to delete. |
