I have a requirement to back up data from a server then delete it from the source once complete. Commvault doesn’t have this feature natively so thinking a workflow. Does anyone know if there is a workflow currently available that does that?
Workflow to delete data
Best answer by Chris Hollis
Hi
Hope you’re well.
What kind of data are we talking about here?
As far as i’m aware, there are no inbuilt options that do this... I believe you could however create and then execute a batchfile that does this as part of a ‘postbackup’ process of a job e.g. https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=12757.htm
If you’re talking about archive data (e.g. mailbox), we can configure jobs to clean up messages that fit a certain criteria, including delete, for more information about this please refer to: https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=28887.htm
Let me know what type of data you’re needing to remove and I’ll see what else I can find.
Chris
