Deleting a DS-Client and removing its files

Deleting a DS-Client and removing its files

You can only remove DS-Client files from a Deactivated DS-Client (see: "Deactivating a DS-Client").

1. In the Customers Tab, browse and highlight the deactivated DS-Client you want.

2. Right-click.

3. Select Remove DS-Client and backed up files. The Remove DS-Client screen appears.

F1 Help: See "Remove DS-Client Screen".

4. You have the following options:

Archive all DS-Client data to BLM before deletion

A copy of all data deleted from DS-System will be moved to BLM (Backup Lifecycle Management). This option only appears if the BLM Module is enabled.

Force new BLM Archive package

Select to use a new archive package. Otherwise, this Archive request will be added to the current archive package on the BLM Archiver (if applicable).

Use back-references

Select to allow the Archive Package to contain references to older packages. This may save space by removing data redundancy.

The default (if this option is not selected) is for each Archive Package to contain all of the required files.

5. Click Remove.

6. If successful, the DS-Client is removed from the Customers Tab.

NOTE: Deleted data is moved to the corresponding Storage Location's "Trash" folder. Make sure to run period "Empty Trash" processes (see "Empty Trash from a Storage Location").
