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:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
2
On the Explore Storage page, click Explore Disk Storage. In the repository table, select the device, and click Explore Repository.
3
To delete multiple savesets:
a
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.
b

c
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.
d
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.
e
Click OK.

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:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
2
On the Explore Storage page, click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.
3
In the saveset list, select one or more savesets that you want to delete, and click Remove Savesets.
