how long after removing an agent from a protection group will their related backups show as orphaned?

Post by edison5000 »

Seems like even after a few weeks, some agents that were removed from B&R protection groups still do not show their remaining backups under 'disk' as orphaned.

?

Thanks!

Hello,
looks like expected behavior (I see the same in my environment), because data ends up in "orphaned" if jobs are deleted. As far as I understand, the job still exists. The machine was only removed from the protection group.

Best regards,
Hannes

Thanks Hannes. This seems like an incomplete function. That is, if an agent is not part of any protection group, nor visible in any backup job, I feel it should get the 'orphaned' indicator, unless I am missing something.

Also extra confusing, since presumably, all removed agents that still have backups in Disk may be deleted after X days here, if you select it -

Otherwise I will submit feature request.
