Deleting Backup Job

You can delete Veeam Plug-In backup jobs in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. When you delete a job, Veeam Backup & Replication removes all records about the job from its database and console. Veeam Plug-In backups created by this job remain intact on the backup repository. In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, such backups are displayed in the Home view, under the Backups > Disk (Orphaned) node in the inventory pane. In certain cases, the backups can be displayed in other nodes:

In case of capacity tier, the backups are displayed under the Backups > Capacity Tier (Orphaned) node in the inventory pane.
In case of object storage, the backups are displayed under the Backups > Object Storage (Orphaned) node in the inventory pane.

Note that if the user starts a new backup job session from the machine with Veeam Plug-In, the job will appear in the Veeam Backup & Replication console again, and records about a new job session will be stored in the Veeam Backup & Replication database.

To delete a backup job, do the following:

Open the Veeam Backup & Replication console.

In the Home view, expand the Jobs node in the inventory pane and click Applications.

In the working area, select the necessary job and click Delete on the ribbon. You can also right-click the job and select Delete.
