How to remove old backup job name

Post by pls »

When we first started using Veeam we were backing up test servers. We created some jobs that we are no longer using and I am sure some of the backup jobs were not removed correctly ie remove from configuration. So now we have a few backup job names that show up in the list of backup jobs to pick from when I am doing a restore that do not really exist. This is the only place where they they show up. Is there a way to get rid of these backup job names?

Hi Phil,

These jobs are pulled from the repository they were targeted to. Can you please double-check that these job names are not present in the backups node? Additionally, do these jobs show any VMs to pick?

Thanks!

The names do not show up in the list of backup jobs. Yes the jobs show the VM to pick.

It means that you still have these backups present in the repository or registed in Veeam B&R. Can you go to this view and double-check?

I finally found them. When I clicked on Backups they were in the list. Before I was always clicking on Disk or Disk (Copy), never on the top level Backup.
Thanks
Phil
