Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Deleting File Spaces

If your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator grants you authority, you can delete entire file spaces from the server. You cannot delete individual backup versions that are kept on the server. When you delete a file space, you delete all the files, both backup versions and archive copies, that are contained within the file space. For example, if you delete the file space for your c: drive, you are deleting every backup for every file on that disk and every file you archived from that disk. Carefully consider what you are doing before you attempt to delete a file space.

You can delete file spaces using the GUI or command line clients. To delete NAS file spaces, use the Web client or command line client.

To delete a file space using the GUI client, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Utilities> Delete Filespaces from the main window.
  2. Selection the file spaces you want to delete.
  3. Click the Delete button. Tivoli Storage Manager prompts you for confirmation before deleting the file space.

You can also delete a file space using the delete filespace command. See Delete Filespace for more information. Use the class option with the delete filespace command to delete NAS file spaces. See Class for more information.
