Veeam Backup for AWS applies the configured retention policy settings to automatically remove cloud-native snapshots and snapshot replicas created by backup policies. If necessary, you can also remove the backed-up data manually.
Note |
In Veeam Backup for AWS, you can remove only snapshots created by the Veeam backup service. To delete AWS Snapshots (DB instance snapshots created in AWS), use Amazon Management Console. |
To remove backed-up data manually, do the following:
- Navigate to Protected Data > RDS.
- Select RDS instances whose data you want to remove.
- Click Remove and select either of the following options:
- Snapshots — to remove cloud-native snapshots created for the selected RDS instances by backup policies.
- Manual — to remove cloud-native snapshots created for the selected RDS instances manually.
If you want to remove only specific cloud-native snapshots, follow the instructions provided in section Removing Snapshots Created Manually.
- Replicas — to remove snapshot replicas created for the selected RDS instances by backup policies.
- All — to remove all cloud-native snapshots and snapshot replicas created for the selected RDS instances both by backup policies and manually.
