Deleting Database Backup Files

You can delete archived database backup files that are no longer useful for restore operations.

Note: When you delete a database backup file from the Manage Databases inventory panel, the backup file is permanently deleted from Junos Space and cannot be retrieved or restored.

To delete a Junos Space database backup file:

1. From the task ribbon, select the Administration workspace.
2. From the task ribbon, select the Manage Databases icon.

   The Manage Databases inventory panel displays thumbnail representations of database backups by file name and date.

3. Optional: To view summary information for a database backup file before deleting the file, click on the database backup thumbnail from the inventory panel.

   Junos Space displays summary information about the database backup file in the Quick Look panel, as shown in the following illustration.

   
   
   
4. From the Manage Databases inventory panel (thumbnails or table view), select one or more database backup files that you want to delete.

   To delete more than one database at a time, click on the Multiple button above the Quick Look panel, then select the thumbnails of the databases you want to delete.

5. From the Actions drawer, select Delete Database Backup.

   Junos Space deletes the selected Junos Space database backup files. The deleted backup files are no longer displayed in the inventory panel and are deleted from the /var/lib/mysql/backup directory.
