Disabling and Removing Policies

Veeam Backup for Kasten K10 allows you to temporarily disable or permanently delete K10 policies from both Veeam Backup & Replication and K10 infrastructures. When you disable a backup policy, Veeam Backup for Kasten K10 disables the schedule configured for the backup policy. It means that the K10 policy will no longer start automatically. You can enable and start the disabled policy manually any time you need.

Disabling K10 Policies

You can disable a K10 policy only if it has a schedule configured beforehand. For more information on configuring a K10 policy schedule, see Kasten Docs.

To disable a K10 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 K10 Policies

To delete a K10 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 K10 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 capacity tier, they will also be displayed under the Backups > Capacity Tier (Orphaned) node.
