flickerfly Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have three servers that were decommissioned. However, we want to keep the backups around "just in case". If I "forget" the clients will that remove my ability to recover from the backups taken of them previously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 No, forgetting the clients won't affect the contents of the Media Sets (where the backed up files are stored). You can restore the files to any local disk or any client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotrago Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 OR You could create a folder for "Decommissioned Clients" and drag them in there. Then you still have them but they are separated from your production clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Also note that if you recycle any media sets containing backups of the decommissioned servers you will lose their backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotrago Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 To avoid losing data when recycling media sets, but still keep a backup, you could Transfer the most recent (or any other) Snapshots of your DeCom clients to another backupset. If you have many backups of them over a lengthy period this could save considerable space on your backup media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
