Delete Stranded Restores

Applicable to both Classic and Federated modes

A stranded restore is a restore operation whose source cluster or backup is no longer accessible in Portworx Backup — for example, because the cluster was removed or the associated backup was deleted. The restore record persists in the system until an administrator explicitly deletes it.

As a default administrator, if you want to delete the restores that belong to a non-admin user, perform the following steps:

1. In the Portworx Backup home page from the left navigation pane, click Clusters icon.

2. In the Clusters page, choose the cluster that contains the stranded restore(s) of a user.
   

3. In the cluster page, go to the Restores tab and then go to NS tab.

4. Choose the restore you want to delete and click the vertical ellipsis at the end of the restore row.

5. Select Remove to delete the restore.

6. If you are sure you want to delete that restore, select Confirm Deletion and click Delete.
