Backup Job Immutability-How to force to delete job

Post by fernando.souza »

Hello Everyone,

I need to delete jobs with immutability and it´s will go to expire(Retention) in 18/12, but the customer need to remove before this date.
How can i remove this backup job? Is there a force command to delete?

Thanks
Fernando Souza

I am pretty sure from Veeam, you cannot do this, but from Linux, you could by removing the "i" flag on the files with the CHATTR command then the root can remove the files.

Hi Fernando

Chris is right.
We don‘t have a „force command“. A force command within veeam would make immutable backups useless.

Best,
