Deleting Archived Files

You can delete archive copies if you decide you no longer need them. Unlike backup versions, you can delete individual archive copies without deleting the entire file space. To delete an archive copy:

  1. Click on Utilities from the client GUI main window.
  2. Click on Delete Archive Data. The Archive Delete window displays.
  3. Expand the directory tree. The directory tree contains groups of files identified by a description and archived to the server.
  4. Click the selection boxes to select the objects you want to delete.
  5. Click on Delete. The Archive Delete Status window displays the archive deletion processing status.

If you are using commands, you can delete archive copies with the delete archive command.

For example, to delete the file /home/jones/t.exe, enter:

   dsmc delete archive /home/jones/t.exe
