Removing Federated Repositories

When you remove a federated repository, federated repository members and their contents are not removed and are treated as standalone backup repositories. However, the backup chains may be broken.

Notes

• A federated repository cannot be removed while a backup job using this federated repository as a target is running or if it contains at least one backup object referenced by existing job(s). To remove such a federated repository, delete (or edit) the corresponding job so that no items are backed up to the aforementioned repository.

• Before removing a federated repository that contains at least one backup object, the recovery points of which are distributed across several members, make sure you copy the backups it contains to another repository.
