Remove replica from Configuration/Disk

[ifi-deda]

As I could understand in Veeam documentation (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110 and https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110) when I delete from configuration or from disk a VM in the Replica Node, the replication Job should be updated removing the VM, or adding and exception if the VM is selected because it is inside a Container. Is it correct?

I tried deleting a replicated VM from disk in the Replica node, but the job was not updated, the VM is still selected in the job and there is no exclusion for it. Can someone explain me why?

Hello,
works for me as documented.

I tried deleting a replicated VM from disk

the exclusion is for "remove from configuration". As far as I see, you clicked "delete from disk".

Best regards,

Ok, but if you look at https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110 the first period is:

If you want to delete records about replicas from the Veeam Backup & Replication console and configuration database and, additionally, delete replica files from the destination storage, you can use the Delete from disk operation.

So I understand that the deletion from disk is an additional task, beyond deleting replica from configuration that includes removing VM from job...

I guess it should be said more clearly that if I choose "delete from disk" then the VM will stay in the Replica Job configuration.
And I don't understand why the "Delete from disk" is not an additional task of the "Remove from configuration".

hmm, that interpretation is a bit "too far away" for me

feel free to ask the documentation team if they want to change it ("send feedback" link on bottom of each page in helpcenter)
