Deleting retired or unused backup sources from the Credentials pane
Backup Exec lists the backup sources and their associated credentials for each server that you monitor on the Credentials pane. If you remove one of the backup sources from your environment, it still displays in the list of backup sources on the Credentials pane. You can delete retired or unused backup sources from the pane to help make it easier to manage. Backup Exec browses and discovers resources during normal operations. If the backup source that you delete still exists in your environment, Backup Exec will add it to the list of resources again the next time that it is discovered. You should only delete backup sources from the Credentials pane if they no longer exist in your environment.
To delete retired or unused backup sources from the Credentials pane
-
On the Backup and Restore tab, double-click the server that contains the backup source that you want to delete from the Credentials pane.
-
In the left pane, click Credentials.
-
Select the backup source that you want to delete from the Credentials pane.
-
In the Credentials group, click Delete Selected Resource.
Backup Exec removes the backup source from the list.
Note: If you try to delete a backup source that is used in a backup definition, Backup Exec does not delete that backup source. When you delete a backup source that still exists in your environment, Backup Exec repopulates the list with the backup source the next time it browses your environment.
