Deleting existing backups

Last Updated : Jul 24, 2023 |

About this task

A server used as the backup server can store a maximum of 14 backups.

  • The space needed for each backup can limit the actual number of backups.

  • The system prefixes all files associated with a backup with the number in the format NN_, from 00_ to 13_. Since it reuses the NN_ prefixes, the prefixes do not necessarily match the date order.

  • If necessary, you can delete previous backups to increase the available backup space. Verify the prefix to delete by using the restore process to see the list of existing backups. See Test Restoration.

warning

  • Only delete files with numeric prefix 00_ to 13_. The backup server uses other files in the folder for management of the backup file sets.

Procedure

  1. Connect to the backup server using an SSH file management client and web manager Administrator account.
  2. Browse to /var/www/html/avaya/backup folder.
  3. To delete a backup set, select and delete all files with the same NN_ file prefix. Do not delete any other files.
