How to delete a backup job

Post by ROSA »

I've installed the VAW 2 RTM, I've created a job and when clicking "finish" I got his error:
Unable to create backup job.
WMI method call failed.
Critical error


Now I'm not able to create a job, because when I try the "Configure Backup" I get:
Invalid job configuration. Instance count: 0.

How do I delete this "job"?
The obvious choice is to uninstall and reinstall but is there an other way?

Hi,

It will be best to have a support engineer look at it. Please, open a support case from the product UI (Support tab > Technical Support).

Kind regards,
Alexey
