ggirao Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi, I want/need to erase some backup parts, let's say I archived some folders on another script/media set and I want to free some some also from the backups. Is it possible? If so is it possible also do it on the LTO Tapes backup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 You can forget complete snapshots from Disk media sets. You can transfer snapshots to a new tape media set and omit the snapshots you don't need. You can not forget parts of a snapshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hum.. but some folders that I choose, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hum.. but some folders that I choose, no? Only if you backed them up separately as "Favorite Folders" from the beginning. See chapters 3 and 5 in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yes, that I know. In this case wasn't a fav folder. Was a big Share with many folders. TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah, in that case, all you can do is forget the entire snapshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 If you REALLY want to do it: Restore all files. Delete the unwanted folders. Perform a bcakup. Verify the backup. Forget the original snapshot. Delete the temporarily restored files. Requires (of course) lots of temporary disk space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
