Note

If you want to delete an active backup copy job, you must first stop the synchronization process. To do this, disable the backup job. After the job is disabled, you can delete it.

After the job is deleted, the backups created by this job are displayed under the Backups > Disk (Orphaned) node. If the backup files created by this job were also stored in an object storage repository, they will also be displayed under the Backups > Object Storage (Orphaned) node.
