Remove asset copy records from the
PowerProtect Data Manager database
This option enables you to delete the asset backup copy records from the
PowerProtect Data Manager database for Microsoft Exchange, File System, Kubernetes, Block Volume (PowerStore and PowerMax), Oracle, SAP HANA, and SQL backup copies, 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.
NOTE:This procedure describes how to remove backup copy records using the
Infrastructure > Assets window. This functionality is also available from the
Infrastructure > Copy Management window, which provides advanced search and filter functionality to locate one or more specific copies of a protected asset from a list of all available asset copies. Any user with the privilege to
View Copies from the
Infrastructure > Assets window also has permissions to access copy management.
Steps
From the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select
Infrastructure > Assets.
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.
Select a protected asset from the table, and then click
View Copies. The
Copy Locations pane identifies where the backups are stored.
In the left pane, click
to the right of the icon for the asset. The table in the right pane lists the backup copies.
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.
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.
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.
