Orphaned recovery points with no data - safe to remove?

Thread needs solution

Good morning,

 

We have encountered an issue with one of our tenants wherein there are recovery points that go back further than the retention policy - the backup type is incremental.

 

  • These points do not exist in Webrestore
  • Attempting to access them in the recovery console results in the following error (note I have replace any account login info with xxxxxx):

"Failed to open backup 'avfs:/online?account%3dxxxxxxx%2540xxxxxxx.co.uk%26computer%3d1%26provider%3dAcronis#arl:/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/3578010F-1A70-6340-6A46-B7BE83F0BBD1/C22573B1-EB67-4B23-A283-C9E7C2779545?archive_name%3dMCI-DATA2-4D3A3733-7C2C-4F1A-86CA-EEE324FA88D7-89FC5BD5-4106-46FE-A94F-C5551C6AB586A' for browse.Cannot find a backup with key 'avfs:/online?account%3dxxxxxxxx%2540xxxxxxxx.co.uk%26computer%3d1%26provider%3dAcronis#arl:/F4A8E129-1708-42B5-BC98-0E4ACAEE04CC/8F44EB8E-E15E-4B3E-BBC4-40924F7EE303/3578010F-1A70-6340-6A46-B7BE83F0BBD1/C22573B1-EB67-4B23-A283-C9E7C2779545?archive_name%3dMCI-DATA2-4D3A3733-7C2C-4F1A-86CA-EEE324FA88D7-89FC5BD5-4106-46FE-A94F-C5551C6AB586A'.Error code 0x00A100F4+0x00A10008+0x00A10008+0x00A100CB+0x00A10006

My question is, can I attempt to remove these from the Backup console without any affect on the backup chain?

 

Kind regards,

Phil

Hello Phil.

Please try to click on refresh button at the top right of backups tab, it will force the agent to check the meta of the archives stored on cloud storage and update the information about them in backups tab.

 

 

Hi Mikhail,

 

Well, that'll teach me for looking for a technical reason for a simple issue! Many thanks for pointing me at that button - that's sorted it.

 

Out of interest, does this polling happen automatically at any point or is it always a manual refresh?

 

Thank you again for your help :)

 

Phil
