Best way to delete all backup files for a job?
I'm changing all our jobs over to reverse incrementals. I would like to take the existing backups and copy them to another drive and just clear out the repository to start fresh. What is the best procedure for doing this? Can I just delete the files and rescan the repository? Would it be easier to clone the backup jobs and delete the old ones? Just looking for a quick best practice on this one.

If you go to Backups-Disk and select said job, you will see "Delete from disk" option in it's context menu.
This will effectively remove files from repository and clean all corresponding records inside Veeam Backup, so you will have a possibility to start from scratch.
Be sure to copy all data you need to the drive you want before deleting, so you won't loose anything.
