Obsolete Snapshots - does it delete unmanaged snaps?

Post by skrause »

Hi,

We are moving from a different product to VB4AWS and I wanted some clarification on the 'obsolets snapshots' functionality.

I get that it clears out snaps that are from Veeam policies that no longer apply/exist. That makes sense.

My question is, does it delete obsolete snapshots created by other means as well (i.e. from another backup process)?

It only looks for obsolte Veeam created snapshots. Deletion of others can be done via AWS console.
