Deleting backups

You can delete all backups of a given disk, but you cannot delete just an individual backup from a specific date and time.

Note: If you delete all backups of all disks for a particular computer, that computer no longer appears on the Backups page. However, that computer name remains in the storage system and counts toward the total number of computers that are allowed to back up to the storage system. If you want to delete all backups of all disks and the computer name, refer to the next section, “Deleting a client.”

To delete all backups of a disk:

1.Select the radio button adjacent to the disk whose backups you want to delete (in the second Select column).

2.Click “Delete Backup”.

3.When prompted to confirm the deletion, click “Yes”.

The disk no longer appears on the Backups page, and all backup versions are deleted. If only one disk was protected, the computer name disappears from the page as well.

Note: If you delete a backup and the user did not previously remove protection for that disk, when the user subsequently accesses DiskSafe Express, the Status page will indicate that the backup of the protected disk is offline. To back up the disk once again, the user must remove protection and then protect the disk again.
