Backup / Maintenance

Post by WillemDH »

Hello,

Configured backup / maintenance today. So I set 'delete indexes older then 30 days', I was wondering when exactly is the job to clean up these indexes running? Would this mean all data older then 30 days is purged. Is there some way to force the job which would delete the indexes older then 30 days?

Grtz

It is the backup_maintenance job found under Administration -> Command Subsystem

Yes, except if you have created snapshots in a repository, the snapshots would still be able to revive your data.

You can force the backup_maintenance job from Administration -> Command Subsystem by clicking Edit
Click in the Next Run Time field
Click now button
Click Update

One thing to note, if your Job ID's are just a bunch of scrambled chars, click the Reset All Jobs and they will get proper names..
