manually delete backup with veeam agent
Hi,
I am using Veeam Agent on Windows server 2016 with Veeam Cloud Connect repository.
Because of problems with free space, I want to delete the whole backup chain manually.
I have already try instructions from the website: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=40
I run cmd with Administrator permission then I run the command: "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe" /deletebackup
But only what happens is that Veeam show window for configuring New Backup Job, there is no list of existing backups. Backups are configured on the same server.
Example:
Can you please help me and check what I am doing wrong?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards, Boštjan

Hello Boštjan,
Can you please clarify if backup job is still aimed at the repository you would like to delete backup from? Thanks!

Hi, yes backup job is still active and configured on a repository and inside my program.

But the last backup has failed because of the free space problem.

Boštjan,
Thanks! Is the latest version of Veeam Agent for Windows (we currently have v4 available)? Can you please raise a support case and share the case ID with me? I'll ask QA folks to check.

Re: manually delete backup with veeam agent
We can close this ticket. Now I can delete veeam backup but I must go back in CMD to C drive and then enter whole command. "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe" /deletebackup and then veeam show me a message If I want to delete backup from remote repository . I am not quite sure where is the difference but it is working for me now.
Thank you all for your help.

Re: manually delete backup with veeam agent
I'd cd to C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\ and then type in Veeam.EndPoint.Manager.exe" /deletebackup command.
Thanks for the heads up and glad to hear that it's working as expected!
