Removing cloud archive sets

Removing an archive set removes the set information from the Unitrends appliance, and it can be imported again at any time. Removing a set does not delete it from the archive media. For details, see Managing archive media. However, for sets archived to the cloud, you can enable the Remove Files setting to delete sets from the cloud storage when you remove them from the appliance. If you enable this setting, the sets are deleted from the archive media when you remove them from the appliance and these sets cannot be retrieved. When the Remove Files setting is enabled, removing sets from the appliance deletes them from the cloud storage regardless of their retention settings.

For instructions on enabling or disabling the Remove Files setting, use the procedure described below.
