How to reduce size of VeeamBackupReporting,mdf

Post by Mike_H »

I'm on an unsupported version (6.1) so can't open a support ticket. But I'm not allowed to post here unless I have a support ticket!

How can I find out how to reduce the size of this file?

Take the database offline and change recovery model to simple from full.
Then shrink log and database.

Thanks for the reply.

The Database Recovery Model is already set to Simple. And attempting to shrink the database or log both show that there is (virtually) zero free space in the database.

I don't want / need any reporting information from VEEAM. If the contents of the database is for my benefit (ie not required by the software to run properly) then I'm happy to delete it. But how do I go about doing that without causing a problem.
