Unable to delete old VMs in the Backup Copy job ?

[albertwt]

Hi All,

I need to delete old VMs to release some disk space in some of the Backup Copy job, bu somehow I cannot do it easily by right click from Veeam Console:

---------------------------
Veeam Backup and Replication
---------------------------
Unable to perform the operation while primary backup job or database transaction log backup job is running.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I have make sure that there is no Backup Job running, but I still get that error message above ?

My goal here is to be able to reclaim the disk space on the Backup repository, because it is now 99% full.

Did you disable the backup copy job ? This is needed before you can remove files from it.

Ah I see, is that because of the Backup copy is always running continuously ?

Correct. The files are locked due to this.
