Veeam and Data Domain Cleanup Questions

[matai]

I have a couple questions regarding cleaning up old backups on a Data Domain 640 Repository:

1. I have deleted some Backup Jobs. The backups for those jobs are still on the repository. What is the best way to go about cleaning those jobs?

2. I have a backup job that I changed the name of. When I browse the repository to restore an item, the backup jobs are under a folder named with the old name. How do I resolve this?

Thanks!

Hello,

1. You can just manually delete them if they are not needed.
2. One of the solutions is:
- Create a new folder with the desired name (or change a name of the existing folder)
- Rescan the backup repository
- Map backup job pointing it to the new(or renamed) folder.

Thank you.

1. It is better to go to Backup->Disk node, select proper backup and use "Delete from Disk" option. Please be aware, that DataDomain will actually delete the files only during cleanup procedure. We do not call cleanup by ourselves since this operation can affect performance of other activity on that device.
