Ver. 2.0 / Delete users from repository and compress db

[Robvil]

Hi,

Is it possible in version 2 to:
1) delete users from the backup repository manual?
2) compress the repository db?

Hi Robert,

1. Backed up data is stored in a database and there's no way you can remove a specific user from it. Obsolete data is removed from the repository based on the retention settings configured.
2. There's only native Jet database compression (about 15% in average)

Robert,

After a double check on #1, I have to apologize for my incorrect responce (every day is a lesson...) - a user can, actually, be deleted from a repository by using the Remove-VBOBackupItem cmdlet.

I think this command delete a user from Backup Job, not from Backup Repository

What a mess, indeed! Thanks for pointing me to this, Marco.

Remove-VBOEntityData is the correct option to delete a user (or group, or site data) directly from a repository.

Code: Select all

PS C:\PS> $repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Daily Backup"
PS C:\PS> $user = Get-VBOEntityData -Type User -Repository $repository -Name "User Name"
PS C:\PS> Move-VBOEntityData -From $repository -User $user -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox -OneDrive -Sites

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks.
