1   Introduction

This document describes how to delete a backup.

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

• No other backup operation is in progress.
• The backup type is known.
• The name of the backup to delete is known.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

To delete a backup:

1. Navigate to the BrmBackupManager managed object, for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=<Node Name>,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA

2. Start the delete operation, for example:

   (BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA)>deleteBackup --name "testBackup_20150616"

   The system returns output true or false.

3. Verify that the backup was successfully deleted:

   (BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA)>show -v

   After a backup is successfully deleted, the progress report shows the following:

      actionName="DELETE" <read-only>
      additionalInfo
         "Delete Backup for testBackup_20150616: Succeeded" <read-only>
      progressInfo="" <read-only>
      progressPercentage=100 <read-only>
      result=SUCCESS <read-only>
      resultInfo="testBackup_20150616 was deleted successfully." <read-only>
      state=FINISHED <read-only>

If an error occurs during the execution of the operation, attribute reportProgress shows result=FAILURE and resultInfo shows the cause of the failure.
