Deleting a retention set

You can delete a retention set if you are no longer required to keep its data.

About this task

The backup data objects in a retention set are tracked in the server inventory to ensure that the data is retained. When you delete a retention set, the server inventory is updated and the backup data objects are no longer protected as part of that retention set. During expiration processing, the data objects are deleted unless they are still retained by a different retention set. For in-place retention sets, data objects are also not deleted if they are protected by policy set specifications.

Procedure

To delete a retention set, complete the following steps:

  1. On the Operations Center menu bar, click Services > Retention Sets.
    The Retention Sets page is displayed.
  2. On the Retention Sets page, select the retention set you want to delete.
  3. Select More > Delete.
