How to clean up the old backup data according to the new retention rule

Question

  • How to clean up the old backup data according to the new retention rule?
  • How to manually run a retention pass?

Answer

When you adjust your retention policy in Comet Backup, the system does not delete older data immediately. To remove backups that fall outside your new retention period, you need to wait for the next backup job to be executed and perform the retention pass or manually run a retention pass on the Storage Vault. Once the retention pass completes, snapshots older than the new retention period are deleted automatically and can no longer be restored.

  1. Log in to your Comet Management Console.
  2. Go to Users > username > Devices tab > Actions....
  3. In the popup window, switch to Storage Vault tab and click Apply retention rules now.
