The process for removing an EMC® Data Domain® Boost (DD Boost™) repository is the same as removing any other repository type, except that you also have the option of removing the storage unit used by the repository. There is a hard limit on the number storage units that can be configured on a Data Domain device, which makes removing unused storage units an important maintenance effort.

In the My Repositories pane, right-click the applicable EMC Data Domain Boost repository, and select Remove. |
2 |
Select Delete all savepoints in this repository. |
3 |
To delete the savepoints in a replicated repository, select Delete all savepoints in replication repository. |
