Removing Backup 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 backups from configuration is designed for experienced users only. Consider using the Detach from job or Delete from disk operations instead. Create encrypted configuration backup before removing backups from configuration. To learn more, see the Creating Encrypted Configuration Backups section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. |
You can remove an entire backup related to a Veeam Agent backup job or remove specific child backups — backups related to individual computers in the backup.
