Deactivating client data

Edit online

Deactivating, or cleaning up, client data deactivates any backup data that was stored before the date and time that you specify. The data can no longer be retrieved, and will be deleted according to your storage management policies.

About this task

Restriction: This action is only available for application clients that protect Oracle databases.
Files that were backed up after the specified date and time are still accessible, and the client continues to back up files according to its schedule associations.

You can manage retention settings for inactive backup versions on the Properties page for the policy domain that stores the client data (Services > Details > Policy Sets > Keep Extra Backups).

Procedure

  1. On the Operations Center menu bar, click Clients.
    The Clients page opens.
  2. In the Clients table, select one or more eligible clients and click More > Clean Up.
