Delete |
By using "Delete" backups can be removed. Two
kinds of deleting are distinguished:
![]() |
Delete managment data only |
![]() |
Delete data physical |
By deleting the managment data of a one or more
backups only, the entries of the restore file selection area are
removed. The real backup data allready exists, only the reference
to the data is removed. By using "Insert" it is
possible to recreate (creates
the entries for the restore file selection)
the management data.
Deleting the physical backup means that all data is removed (the management data and the real backup
data)! A physically removed backup can't be
reactivated, all data is really gone! To delete one or more
backups, select the backup(s) in the file selection area. A click
on "Delete" opens a confirmation
window. Every backup that was selected to delete is listed in the
window by title and start date. below the list is the checkbox
"Delete Backup Data". Here the kind of
deletion can be seleced. If the checkbox is activated, the
management data and backup data are removed (physically removed).
If the checkbox is deactivated (default), only the management
data would be removed.
It's possible to change the selection if the confirmation window
is open. If the selection in the file selection area is changed,
SIEGFRIED BACKUP refreshes the confirmation window immediately.
After all selections are returned, the window closes automaticaly.
The usage of "OK" removes the listed
backups. "Cancel" closes the window
without removing any backups. The same results when the user
closes the window by using the close button or the <ESC>
key.
