Disabling and Removing Policies

Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes allows you to temporarily disable or permanently delete Kasten policies from both Veeam Backup & Replication and Kasten infrastructures. When you disable a backup policy, Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes disables the schedule configured for the backup policy. It means that the Kasten policy will no longer start automatically. You can enable and start the disabled policy manually any time you need.

Disabling Kasten Policies

You can disable a Kasten policy only if it has a schedule configured beforehand. For more information on configuring a Kasten policy schedule, see Veeam Kasten Docs.

To disable a Kasten policy:

1. Open the Home view.
2. In the inventory pane, select Jobs.
3. In the working area, select the necessary backup policy and click Disable on the ribbon. Alternatively, right-click the necessary backup policy and select Disable.

Removing Kasten Policies

To delete a Kasten policy from the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure:

1. Open the Home view.
2. In the inventory pane, select Jobs.
3. In the working area, select the necessary Kasten policy and click Delete on the ribbon. Alternatively, right-click the necessary backup policy and select Delete.

After the policy is deleted, the backups exported by this policy are displayed under the Backups > Disk (Orphaned) node. If the backups exported by the policy were also stored in the capacity tier, they will also be displayed under the Backups > Capacity Tier (Orphaned) node.
