Removing a backup from VSC

GARYWADAPT — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:17:48 GMT

I've got a few backup jobs in VSC - one of them has had the underlying volumes deleted and trying to remove it from the VSC consoles backup and recovery section is proving to be a pain.

Is there anyway of forcing this backup job to go away?

Cheers.

You should be able to manually remove it by doing the following:

go into the installation folder for SMVI (should be %install%\virtual storage console\smvi\server\etc)
copy the existing "scheduledBackups.xml" file to scheduledBackups.orig (just in case)
stop the SMVI service on the VSC server
edit the scheduledBackups.xml file
- search for the volume you'd like to remove
- scroll up to the beginning tag of <backupjob>
- remove everything up until you hit the end tag of <\backupjob>
- save the file
restart the SMVI service
close and reopen the vSphere Client
click on "Home" -> "NetApp" -> "Backup and Recovery"
make sure that you're job has been removed

Let me know if that helps!
