NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Remove the database entry

The NetBackup for OpenStack database is following the OpenStack standard of not deleting any database entries upon deletion of the cloud object. Any policy, Snapshot or Restore, which gets deleted, is marked as deleted only.

To allow the NetBackup for OpenStack installation to be ready for another disaster recovery it is necessary to completely delete the entries of the policies, which have been restored.

NetBackup for OpenStack does provide and maintain a script to safely delete policy entries and all connected entities from the NetBackup for OpenStack database.
