Deleting a Vault

You can delete unwanted vaults to reduce storage space usage and costs.

Once you delete a vault, all backups stored in the vault will be deleted.

Only pay-per-use vaults can be deleted. Yearly/Monthly vaults need to be unsubscribed from by following instructions in Unsubscribing from a Vault (Yearly/Monthly).

Prerequisites

  • There is at least one vault.
  • The vault is in the Available or Error state.
  • Backups in a hybrid cloud backup vault have been deleted from both on-premises data center and the cloud.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CBR console.

    1. Log in to the management console.
    2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
    3. Click and choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery. Select the corresponding backup type from the navigation pane.

  2. Find the target vault and choose More > Delete in the Operation column. All backups stored in the vault will be deleted once you delete a vault.
