For some reason we have a lot of old backups in snapdrive SQL databases... We would like to delete all backups older than a specific date, but only from the primary location. (we have two snapvault targets)... I suspect we need a PS script for this task, because doing this in the GUI is a pain 🙂 If someone has done this script already and is willing to share, it would be most useful... Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to clone a backup of some SQL-Server databases to another server and everything works great when i let SnapCenter controle the mountpoint with AutoAssignMountPoint. Full command: New-SmClone -BackupName "SQL01_USRDB1_SQL01_01-08-2023_19.30.04.9781" -Resources @{"Host"="SQL01.domain.com";"Type"="SQL Database";"Names"="SQL01\TestDatabase,SQL01\Provar,SQL01\EfterPolicy"} -CloneToInstance "SQL02" -AutoAssignMountPoint -Suffix "_PS-Clone" -LogRestoreType None -AppPluginCode "SMSQL" But i want to controle the mountpoint, so i try to use AssignMountPointUnderPath, but i can not get it to work. Full command: New-SmClone -BackupName "SQL01_USERDB01_SQL01_01-08-2023_19.30.04.9781" -Resources @{"Host"="SQL01.domain.com";"Type"="SQL Database";"Names"="SQL01\TestDatabase,SQL01\Provar,SQL01\EfterPolicy"} -CloneToInstance "SQL02" -AssignMountPointUnderPath 'c:\MountPoint\CloneMount\' -Suffix "_PS-Clone" -LogRestoreType None -AppPluginCode "SMSQL" The error i get is: New-SmClone : Input string was not in a correct format. I have tried all variations on the path i can come up with (single quote, double quote, without quote, with double backslaches, with and without backslash on the end) but all of them give the same error. If i use a path that does not exist, it gives another error: New-SmClone : Invalid mount path: Path does not exist Wich is logical... And indicates that it is using the string and the overall command is ok. If i look in the command reference guide, https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2880726 in the example in the beginning they use both AutoAssignMountPoint and AssignMountPointUnderPath. If i try that i get another error: New-SmClone : Please provide only one option from AutoAssignMountPoint and AssignMountPointUnderPath. So now i am stuck. My hope is that someone out there have a solution for this. We use SnapCenter 4.6 and the powershell version on the server is 5.1. Regards, Daniel

Maybe I am missing something, but how do i get XCP to create the source directory on the target? xcp copy vserver1:/volume1/directory1 vserver2:/volume2 this command copies the FILES in directory1 to the ROOT of volume2 on vserver2. I would like the directory1 itself to be copied. Thanks, Moshe

Hi, We have already a bunch of obsolete administrator accounts within snapcenter and we'd like to delete them, to avoid questions and explanations at the next security audit. Is there a risk of orphan objects ( host, prtections...) if we simply delete those users? All Users accounts are domain-accounts, so they are already locked on domain-level, but anyhow, we'd prefer to get them deleted inside snapcenter. Any suggestions?
