+1As title implies, I am retiring a VM Server. Currently, this server gets backed up daily, and it kept on local disk storage for a period of 1 month.
What is the correct prescribed method using the command center GUI to “stop” the daily backups, and then just have the data age off for the next month until there is no data left and I can delete the VM from the VM group backup.
Do I simply change the “plan” the vm is affiliated with to “none”?

You can continue to restore data from a retired client or agent until the retention parameters for the data are met.

Selecting the “3 dot” menu to the right when going to Protection>Vitual Machines>VM Group only yields these options:

I’m on 11.32 and not seeing retire option for vm as I did in a previous version. I can see it for fileservers from action 3 dot.
