1   Introduction

This document describes how to enable automatic deletion of manual user backups in the managed element.

Enabling automatic deletion of manual user backups when the maximum number of manual user backups is below the existing number of stored manual user backups results in immediate deletion of one or more stored manual user backups to match the maximum number.

For information on how to modify the maximum number of manual user backups, refer to Change Maximum Number of Manual Backups.

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:

• The existing value of attribute autoDelete is DISABLED.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

If the number of backups is already over the value of attribute maxStoredManualBackups, this operation deletes one or more existing backups. Consider to export important backups before enabling this operation.

To enable automatic deletion of manual backups:

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

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

2. Enter Config mode:

   (BrmBackupHousekeeping=USER_DATA)>configure

3. Enable automatic deletion of manual backups:

   (config-BrmBackupHousekeeping=USER_DATA)>autoDelete=ENABLED

   Attention!

   Risk of data loss or data corruption.

   Depending on the number of stored manual backups and the value of the maximum number of manual backups, commit of this change can result in immediate deletion of stored manual backups.

   Note:  

   The value of the autoDelete attribute cannot be cleared by the no autoDelete ECLI command.

   
   
4. Commit the change:

   (config-BrmBackupHousekeeping=USER_DATA)>commit

5. Verify the change:

   (BrmBackupHousekeeping=USER_DATA)>show -v

   The following is an example output:

   BrmBackupHousekeeping=USER_DATA autoDelete=ENABLED <default> [...]
