More Information
Important Notes:
- The files that are removed from configuration will no longer be controlled by the job's retention policy. They will remain on disk where they were left until they are manually removed.
- There may be multiple entries under Backups>Imported for the files that were removed from backups previously then were brought back in after a rescan of the repository.
- For Backup Copy Jobs with Archival fulls enabled - Make sure to check the box to remove archived fulls when removing from configuration. Otherwise a new incremental from the most recent archived restore point will be created.
