Orphaned recovery points with no data - safe to remove?
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

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
