How to delete month and year backups

Hi @DUO-CSR 

To delete specific VM backups using the REST API in Commvault, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the backup jobs you want to delete by retrieving their job IDs. Use the Get Job API to list the jobs and filter them based on your criteria (e.g., monthly and yearly backups).
2. Once you have the job IDs, use the Delete Job API to delete each job. This API requires the job ID as a parameter.

Here are the relevant API documentation links for these operations:
-Get Job
-Delete Job

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Keshika

Thank you Keshika,

I managed step 1, but unfortunatly the link for “Delete Job” is dead, and I can’t find in the documentation nor by using Google.

Can you please share how the rest call should look like?

Thanks a lot, Maurice

Hello ​@DUO-CSR I think it has been removed due to caution and safety concerns. Can you please try to remove the jobs using qoperation script instead if that helps?
