After moving a backup to SOBR, how do we clean up the temporary repository?

Post by NickBLndn »

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has advice on the above. We have been following the guidance in https://www.veeam.com/kb2236 and successfully moved a backup into our SOBR, but now we have a repository in maintenance mode that we don't want any more. A quick look in the folder on disk and it seems to have a single .vsb file that's about 600Mb in size.

Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick

This temporary vsb-files (Veeam Synthetic Backup) should be removed after a Tape Job completion.
If no Tape job is running and the file is older, you can safely delete it.

Best,

Thanks Fabian, most helpful. We don't use tape any more, I suppose I'd better clean that config up!
