Disk (imported) - What are these, can these be removed?

[jrbaumann]

This has probably been answered, but i couldn't find an answer in forums, so i apologize.

I'm trying to figure out what these backups are under Disk(imported). Can these be removed, are they taking up space on my storage?

Also, if i click Disk (imported) i can choose different computers and browse more backup jobs presumably to import. Why are these here, can they be removed, they appear to have recent dates tied to them, so im not sure what they are.


Thanks much!

Jeff

Hey Jeff. Typically these appear if you have created and scanned a repository when previous backup files on them. There is a prompt that asks if you want to import existing backups during the creation of a repository. If any are found it will place them in that location in the console. They will be talking up space on your storage yes, so worth investigating where they originated from.

Thanks for the reply Anthony!

Or, if you deleted a backup job that had actually run backups. The backups from that deleted job will show up under Disk (Imported).

Thanks Chuck. I did just figure that out the other day!
