Remove or delete files and folders from Archives

Post by storageguy »

Hi,

Does Veeam have a process that can help remove specific files and folders from the long term archives?

Thanks

Hello,

There is no mechanism which can detect and remove specific files and folders of the guest OS inside the existing restore points including GFS ones. Could you please clarify a bit why are you seeking for such a process?

Thanks!

We are being asked to remove some data for few users, and we would like to remove it if possible their data from the backups and archives to free up some space.
