Installation guide

Deleting backups Backups that have no dependencies are deleted without any limitations.

A backup that has dependencies cannot be deleted separately from all its

dependent backups.

To delete a backup with dependencies manually, you should delete the

entire backup chain (a full backup and all its dependent transaction log

backups or incremental backups).

If you set the retention rules to delete backups older than the specified age,

the outdated backup (marked with the icon) will be kept until all

backups that depend on it also become outdated. Then, all the chain will be

deleted at once.
