PowerProtect Data Manager 19.13 Storage Direct User Guide

Remove Oracle, SAP HANA and Storage Direct backup copies from the PowerProtect Data Manager database

This option enables you to delete the backup copy records from the PowerProtect Data Manager database, but keep the backup copies in protection storage.

About this task

For backup copies that could not be deleted from protection storage, you can remove the backup copies from the PowerProtect Data Manager database. Removing the backup copies from PowerProtect Data Manager does not delete the copies in protection storage.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Assets.
  2. From the Assets window, select the tab for the asset type for which you want to delete copies. If a policy has been assigned, the table lists the assets that have been discovered, along with the associated protection policy.
  3. Select a protected asset from the table, and then click View Copies. The Copy Locations pane identifies where the backups are stored.
  4. In the left pane, click to the right of the icon for the asset. The table in the right pane lists the backup copies.
  5. Select one or more backup copies with the Deletion Failed or Deletion Failed (Agent Catalog) status from the table, and then click Remove from PowerProtect.
    For backup copies with the Deletion Failed (Agent Catalog) status, click Remove from PowerProtect to remove the information from PowerProtect Data Manager for any backup copies that were successfully deleted from protection storage but for which the agent catalog was not deleted from the agent host.
    The system displays a warning to confirm that you want to delete the selected backup copies.
  6. Click OK.
    An informational dialog box opens to confirm that the copies are being deleted. To monitor the progress of the operation, click Go to Jobs. To view the list of backup copies and their status, click OK.
  7. Verify that the copies are deleted from the PowerProtect Data Manager database. If the deletion is successful, the deleted copies no longer appear in the table. The backup copies remain in protection storage.
