Deleting a Backup
Pre-requisites:
To delete a backup through the CentraSite Command Line Interface, you must have the CentraSite Administrator role.
You can delete backups that are no longer required. Deleting a backup removes all the backup spaces that are associated with it, but the associated session log information is not removed, since it may subsequently be required if the database has to be recovered.
CentraSite provides a command tool named deletebackup for this purpose.
To delete a backup
1. Listing available backups and backup keys: Run the command listbackups.
The syntax is of the format inoadmin listbackups <server>
2. Identify the backup that you wish to delete.
3. Deleting a Backup: Run the command deletebackup.
The syntax is of the format: inoadmin deletebackup <server> <BackupKey>
where <BackupKey> is the backup key of the backup you wish to delete.
Example:
inoadmin deletebackup CentraSite 001334732430
Post-requisites: If, after you delete a backup, there are one or more disabled backups older than the oldest remaining non-disabled backup, CentraSite automatically deletes all of these older disabled backups.
