How do I delete a job?

Post by willrun4fun »

I have not found a way in the gui. Do or can a command line option do it?

well I answered my own question with some more guessing.

veeamconfig job delete --name {job name}

Is there complete command line documentation somewhere yet?

If I delete backup files from disk, it still not disappear from Veeam backup list.

HINT: you can use bash autocompletion (TAB) to see possible options.
Is there complete command line documentation somewhere yet?
It will be released once we determine which CLI operations are the least intuitive to the end-user so we can focus on those in the documentation :)

Thanks for your input!

Do you mean that you after deletion you can still see the rows on he main page of UI? If so then it seems that you confused backups with backup sessions history that is displayed in UI.

When I press R (recovery files) on main page, I can see all restore points on menu. I cannot mount backups anymore because all is deleted from disk. Can that history delete too some way?
Use case is when user define new backup jobs and old job isn't used anymore. Now that history page is mess because there is valid and not valid rows.

Confirmed. That's a bug and will be fixed.

Thanks for heads up!

This functionality is not available in Beta so please just delete the files manually. Deleted restore points will still be visible in the UI though - that's a known limitation.

When I run the same job repeatedly for some directory are this backups full or increment?

The very first backup is always full, all subsequent backups are incremental. If you delete files from the directory then the backup job will detect that full backup is missing and will construct another one.

Could you list some of them that are the most severe and annoying please?
When will a next beta version be?
We don't have a strict deadline for that as we still collecting the feedback and feature requests on Beta1.

The first limitation is impossibility to use the VBR repository and the second missing some commands, e. g. a backup deletion. And then I saw something in the forum but I don't know what. It isn't "a lot", perhaps. :-)
Thanks.
