Stephen J Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 One thing that seems to be missing is a method for removing and deleting the backups of client/s. If we want to stop backing up a client for some reason and no longer need to retain the data, a bunch of data shuffling using Transfer doesn't make sense. There should be a way to select a backed up client and with one click, remove any script elements that reference it, remove it from the catalog file and delete all the backups to free up the space. Seems like a no brainer to me. Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscaru Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is really needed feature. We should be able to delete unneeded snapshots or files and recover space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is really needed feature. We should be able to delete unneeded snapshots or files and recover space. FYI: You can delete the snapshots one by one. But it takes lots of time and Retrospect is "not responding" for a looong time for each snapshot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfJ Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 This would be incredibly helpful to have. As of right now, I created a separate clients group that is not a part of the proactive backup, called "_Terminated" and I move employees' clients into that group when they leave the company or we no longer need to backup the client pc. Problem is, even though I'm not creating new backup data, I cant easily get rid of the old data either. And Lennert, you are absolutely correct about "not responding" for a looooong time.. Retrospect seems to do that for nearly every action requested of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
