Deleting S3 Data from Veeam

Post by ratkinsonuk »

Veeam B&R allows you to delete backup data from the 'Files' management section. I can't see any way of doing similar in the VBO GUI for files stored in an S3 bucket. The closest you can do is to delete the Veeam repository, but that leaves the data behind, potentially forever.

Is there any way to acheive this from within Veeam, rather than using the Powershell Remove-VBOEntityData cmdlet?

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob,

This is not possible in VBO. The way the data is stored is also different. Images are flat files in VBR, but in VBO every piece of data is stored specifically.

Thanks Mike. For reference, we're running backup tests prior to going live with VBO, so I don't need/want to keep the repository data I'm creating.

Cheers, Rob.

Robert,

In that case it is sufficient (as you state) to delete the folder of the repository that has been created
