Overview

This page lists the backup schedules from the selected client backing up to the backup server. Clicking on the 'Delete Backup' action icon corresponding to the backup name will delete the data permanently from the backup server.

How to get here in the Web Console?
 In the top menu, select: "Server Admin->Group Management->List of Group" and click on the "Group Name" in this Group row. This lists the clients under this group. Now, click on a client name. This will open a page which lists the backup schedules backing up to this server (from the selected client). Now click on the "Delete Backup" action icon.

Deleting a backup from the Server

If you want to delete a client's backup data associated with this backup schedule, then you can do that from this page. All the backup data associated with this backup schedule will be moved to SGTrash folder in the storage location and will not be permanently deleted. If the data is to be removed permanently, the user can manually delete it from the SGTrash folder. If your server can directly reach the client, then the client will also be notified about this deletion. Whether the client gets notified or not about the deletion, the client will take a new full backup to the server, if the same backup scheduled is scheduled again in the client.

You can see the status of the deletion operation from the Server Side Deleted Backup Reports.
