Delete a backup job without deleting data from vaults

Regular users and admin users can delete backup jobs from online computers without deleting the job data from vaults. Because the data remains in the vaults, you will be billed for it.

For most agents, if a job is deleted from Portal in this way, the data can still be restored using the Restore from Another Computer procedure. See Restore data from another computer.

For a Hyper-V Agent, if a job is deleted from Portal but the job data is not deleted from vaults, the data can be restored using the regular restore procedure. See Restore Hyper-V VMs.

In a Portal instance where the data deletion feature is enabled, Admin users can submit requests to delete job data from vaults when they delete jobs from Portal. See Delete a backup job and delete job data from vaults.

To delete a backup job without deleting data from vaults:

1. On the navigation bar, click Computers.

   The Computers page shows registered computers.

2. Find the online computer with the job that you want to delete, and expand its view by clicking its row.

3. Click the Jobs tab.

4. In the Select Action menu of the job that you want to delete, click Delete Job.

5. If you are signed in as an Admin user in a Portal instance where the data deletion feature is enabled, a Delete Job dialog box appears.

   To delete the backup job without deleting data from vaults, click Remove job and then click Delete.

   Note: The Delete Job dialog box does not appear if you cannot delete backup data in vaults because your Portal instance does not support vault data deletion or you are signed in as a regular user.

6. In the confirmation dialog box, type CONFIRM.

   Note: You must type CONFIRM in capital letters.

7. Click Confirm Deletion.
