• Use the Policy type filter to show only predefined backup policies, policies created by your service provider or policies created in the Client Portal.

• Use the Guest OS filter to show only backup policies for Windows, Linux or macOS.

5. At the top of the policies list, click Remove.

Alternatively, you can right-click the necessary backup policy and choose Remove.

6. In the Delete Policy window, do one of the following:

• If the backup policy is not assigned to any Veeam backup agents, click Yes to confirm removal.
