Why has 'Delete from configuration' been removed for imported backups?

Post by Didi7 »

Hello Veeam,

why has 'Delete from configuration' been removed for imported backups? That was a very handy option. We often import backups for checks and remove them later again from the GUI without wishing to remove the backup-files! Now, I always need to move the backup files to a different place before deleting the imported backup! Imo, a bad idea to remove this option.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

@Egor Yakovlev can you check why please? It is strange indeed. Seems like an operation that will be commonly needed for Imported backups specifically. I can understand hiding it for normal backups, I remember many customers using this when they really should not have...

Have you tried CTRL+“right click“?

Option to "Remove from configuration" is still there for Imported Backups in 12.0.0.1420 with latest updates.
It was hidden under the "Ctrl+rClick" globally.

Will check if we can unhide it for Imported node precisely.

Allright! The trick with CTRL+"right click" works but I would not know it without posting it here.

Maybe returning "Remove from configuration" back for imported backups is the way to go?

Thanks.
