  1. On the Horizon console, navigate to NBOS Backups > Policies.

  2. Identify the policy to be deleted.

  3. Click Create Snapshot drop-down.

  4. Click Delete Policy.

  5. Click Delete Policy again to confirm.

Using CLI
nbosjm policy-delete [--database_only <True/False>] <policy-id>
  • <policy-id> ID/name of the policy to delete.

  • --database_only <True/False> Keep True if want to delete from database only. (Default=False)
