Removing entity from repository

[kirderf]

I am trying to remove user entities from a backup repository, and I've successfully remove all entity data by using Remove-VBOEntityData. But if then run Get-VBOEntityData on the repository I still see the user entities listed, but no with no data associated with them. So, my question is how can I completely remove the entity from the repository, so that there is no trace left of the user? I can't seem to find any cmdlet that does this. Appreciate any tips and help!

Hi Fredrik,

If Get-VBOEntityData keeps returning you some users it means that some of their data (which could be a mailbox, an archive mailbox, OneDrive, or a personal SharePoint site) still remains in the repository. Make sure to explicitly remove all user's objects, and if the issue persists, don't hesitate to involve Veeam Support.

Thanks!

Hi Polina,

Thank your for your reply! I am pretty sure that I have explicitly removed all objects. Below is what I've done.

Code: Select all

$Repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "repo01"
$UserData = Get-VBOEntityData -Repository $Repository -Type User -Name "John Doe"
Remove-VBOEntityData -Repository $Repository -User $UserData -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox -OneDrive -Sites -Confirm:$false

After this, if I execute Get-VBOEntityData on the user an repository, I still get this

Code: Select all

Do you see anything obviously wrong in my procedure? Just thought I'd ask before a submit a support ticket.
Appreciate your help!

Hm... this is weird... and it seems to be a candidate for support investigation.
Please post your case ID here (once you get it).

Thanks!
