This is an example of the currently available image files from a workstation. Oldest at the bottom. Without hassle and possible mistakes, I want to manually delete that oldest full backup.
I know that I can delete the files from the Repository directly (like with explorer) and that Site Manager keeps nicely track of that. I also know that via the normal Macrium Backup software or via the Agent software, the files can be dealt with as "sets" (Macrium takes care of the consistency). However, this has to be done locally on the PC/Workstation/Server. I mean, I could not find means to do this via Site Manager.

Put differently : As far as my short experience with Site Manager goes, I think that all Backup (and Restore) tasks can nicely be done via Site Manager, except for deleting files. Is this a forgotten feature, or can't I just find the how-to ?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

If you go to the Repositories page in Site Manager, there is a browse option - this has options for deleting images. It can also be used to view backups by set etc.

Hi Alex,

That is what I figured or expected somewhat. However, this is all empty with me.

(the Group by Set also brings nothing)

Can I change this somehow ?

Thanks,
Peter

PS: I must add that the enumeration of PC's in the network also does not work for me. I suppose this relates to no Domain Controler being present, currently. I had to install all the Agents manually (install the .msi's over there).

Hi Peter,

A quick look at your screenshot shows that there's an email address in the search field. Do the results change if you remove this or enter a NetBIOS name?

Also the add computers network search uses the same Windows API as is used by the "net view" command line utility. If this returns an error, the will be no results in the network search. You can still add computers manually by NetBIOS name in this case.

Hi Alex,

Oh man, I could not guess that. And not only it works by means of NetBIOS name (per PC), that even incurred for a new entry :



and clicking that just shows them all.

Maybe it is not all 100% intuitive (to my brain at least) but this program is great. Really.

Btw, that email address was there automatically from the start. Maybe it is better to change that default ? anyway, I am helped greatly.

Thank you, Alex,
Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

We suspect this might be caused by autocomplete in your browser. I'll pass it along to the responsible developers to make sure this doesn't happen in future versions.
