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").
