Missing backup delete option in Vembu BDR

Hello Support,

I'm unable to follow these instructions - https://www.vembu.com/support/knowled... - because there is no option to delete older backups (I have 5 total) There is a screenshot below:

Additionally, I am unable to update to the latest version of Vembu BDR (our current version is from 2018) because I can't locate the binary file to update the software. Please advise on how to proceed.

Generally, the steps listed in this KB article will allow you to delete the older full backups if you have more than one full backup for that particular backup job.

To analyze your case further, kindly provide us the details and screenshot of the following:

Did any error occur while deleting older full backups?
Navigate to Recovery page and click on the More option alongside the respective backup job in which you wish to delete full backups. Check whether Full Backup Delete option is available.

Further, the backup server version you are using is v3.9.0. To upgrade to the latest v4.0.1, you need to upgrade your server from v3.9.0 to v4.0 and then to v4.0.1.

Kindly refer to the software update guide for more details.

From the screenshot, we observed that the full backups are partially completed.

As per our design, the option to manually delete full backup is not supported to delete partially completed full backups. Only if the latest full backup is completed successfully, old ones will have delete icon.

So in this case, we recommend you to contact our support (vembu-support@vembu.com). They will provide you with the fix to perform the deletion.
