Removing Backup Repositories

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 allows you to remove backup repositories from the backup infrastructure if you no longer need them.

Consider the following:

• When removing a backup repository, backup files that reside in such a repository will not be removed.

• The last remaining backup repository cannot be removed.
• When removing an extended backup repository that was synchronized, as described in Synchronizing Repositories, the backup data located in associated object storage becomes unavailable.

• You cannot remove a backup repository that is in use by backup jobs

To remove such a repository, remove (or re-map) all backup jobs that are mapped to this repository and then remove a repository. For more information on how to remove a backup job, see Removing Backup Job.

To remove a backup repository, do the following:

1. Open the Backup Infrastructure view.
2. In the inventory pane, select the Backup Repositories node.
3. In the preview pane, select a backup repository.
4. On the Backup Repository tab, click Remove Repository on the ribbon.

Alternatively, in the preview pane, right-click a backup repository and select Remove.
