PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Cloud Disaster Recovery User Guide

Delete backup copies

enables you to manually delete the backup copies. If you no longer require a backup copy, you can delete the backup copy ahead of their expiration date. The retention lock of the backup copy must be disabled before you proceed.

You can perform a backup copy deletion that deletes only a specified part of a backup copy chain, without impacting the ability to restore other backup copies in the chain. When you select a specific backup copy for deletion, only that backup copy and the backup copies that depend on the selected backup copy are deleted. For example, when you select to delete a full backup copy, any other backup copies that depend on the full backup copy are also deleted.

To delete backup copies from Cloud DR, see the Delete backup copies section in the PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide.
