Removing from Configuration

If you want to remove records about Veeam Agent backups from the Veeam Backup & Replication console and configuration database, you can use the Remove from configuration operation. When you remove a Veeam Agent backup from configuration, the actual backup files remain on the backup repository. You can import the backup to the Veeam Backup & Replication at any time later and restore data from it.

Removing from Configuration Note:

Mind the following:

You can use the Veeam Backup & Replication console to remove backups created by Veeam Agent backup jobs on the Veeam backup repository. Backups created on a local drive of a protected computer or in a network shared folder are not displayed in the Veeam Backup & Replication console.
You cannot remove an entire backup related to a Veeam Agent backup job at once. Instead, you need to select and remove all child backups related to individual computers in the backup.

The Remove from configuration operation is not available for backups of failover clusters.

To remove a Veeam Agent backup from configuration:

Open the Home view.
In the inventory pane, click Backups.
In the working area select and remove the necessary backup:

To remove a backup of a specific computer in the Veeam Agent backup job, expand the parent backup, select the necessary computer and click Remove from > Configuration on the ribbon or right-click the computer and select Remove from configuration.

To remove the entire backup related to the Veeam Agent backup job, expand the parent backup, select all computers in the backup (press and hold [CTRL] to select multiple computers at once). Then click Remove from > Configuration on the ribbon or right-click the computer and select Remove from configuration.
