he_he Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Is it possible to groom out forgotten machines completely out of a disk set with out recycling it? I ask this because each week I copy the most recent snapshots of the disk set to tape and it keeps including these old long dead machines. Also if I recycle the disk set then anyone attempting to use the UIR won’t be able to access older snapshots. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltr Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 hi he, i think you can manually remove those snapshots from the backup set by going to 'Configure->Backup Sets', pick your Backup Set and double click or click 'Properties'. go to the 'Snapshot' tab and you should see them all, then highlight the one's you want to get rid of and click, 'Forget'. i don't think that the automated Grooming feature will do this. cheers.

he_he Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 works great even gives you dialog at the end asking if you want to groom now or later Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_he Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 “Works Great” has now been downgraded to “tediously slow”. Removing one snapshot is fairly straight forward, but to remove multiple snapshots is a PITA! There is also a 30-60 second wait time for Retrospect to ‘forget’. As a feature request, being able to select multiple snapshots in this window would be a great addition. Being able to sort be different columns would also help.
